Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡew, *ɡews) : phonetic (OC *ŋeːw) + semantic (feather).

Etymology 1

[edit]

Schuessler (2007) considers this to be probably unrelated to the word family of (OC *krew, “tall”) and instead proposes cognacy with Proto-Northern Naga *gyaw (high).

Sagart (2021b) connects this to Tibetan སྒྲོ (sgro, large feather), which he (Sagart, 2017b) has also connected to (OC *krew).
