Glyph originEdit

Historical forms of the character
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts
   

Ideogrammic compound (會意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢun): semantic (rain) + phonetic (OC *ɢun, cloud). Originally written , with the radical added to to distinguish from the borrowed sense of “to speak”.

EtymologyEdit

Very few outside cognates exist. Starostin compares it with Mizo vân (sky, the skies, heaven) and Karbi inghun (cloud).

Alternatively, this is a derivation from a root meaning “to revolve”. Compare (OC *ɢuns, “to move”), (OC *ɡuːl, “to whirl, to circle”) (Schuessler, 2007).
