Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋaːl) : phonetic 我 (OC *ŋaːlʔ) + semantic 鳥.

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa-n (“goose”), cognate with Tibetan ངང་པ (ngang pa), Burmese ငန်း (ngan:).

雁 is either a derivative with redundant nominalizer *-n; or both 鵝 (OC *ŋaːl) and 雁 (OC *ŋraːns) reflect an earlier liquid final *-l or *-r (Schuessler, 2007).
