Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ɢun): semantic 雨 (“rain”) + phonetic 云 (OC *ɢun). Radical added to 云 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 運 (OC *ɢuns, “to move”), 回 (OC *ɡuːl, “to whirl, to circle”) (Schuessler, 2007).
