Glyph origin
Characters in the same phonetic series (辡) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
Old Chinese | |
---|---|
辬 | *praːn |
瓣 | *breːns |
辦 | *breːns |
辨 | *breːns, *brenʔ |
辡 | *prenʔ, *brenʔ |
辯 | *brenʔ |
辮 | *beːnʔ |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *breːns) : phonetic 辡 (OC *prenʔ, *brenʔ) + semantic 瓜 (“melon”).
Etymology
- "segment, section, piece"
- Exopassive of 辨 (OC *brenʔ, “to divide, distinguish, discriminate”); possibly in the same word-family as another exopassive 釆 (“[to cause to be] divided”). These three thus may be related to either 班 (OC *praːn, “to distribute → to arrange, classify → class, group”) or Mizo pʰel (“to split, cut in halves”) (with medial *-r- dropped after labial initials according to Mizo phonotactics) (Schuessler, 2007).
- "petal"
- Either same etymon as "segment, section, piece"; or same etymon as 葩 (OC *pʰraː, “flower”); or related to 燔 (OC *ban, “to burn”), if so, semantically parallel to Tibetan མེ་ཏོག (me tog, “flower”), literally "fire-top".
