Etymology 1

trad. 芒
simp. # 芒
alternative forms 笀

Unclear. Schuessler (2007) lists two possible comparanda:

  • Proto-Kam-Sui *mpraːŋ¹ (“ear (of grain)”), which may be problematic due to inconsistent phonetic correspondence with the Middle Chinese form; and
  • Burmese အမှင် (a.hmang, “stiff hair; bristles”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ma-ŋ (“beard; moustache”) (STEDT).

Pronunciation


Note:
  • mè̤ng - vernacular;
  • mòng - literary.
