===Glyph origin===
{{Han etym}}
{{liushu|p}} – a bladed tool to plow the ground to mark a border. As an alternative, a carpenter's square; according to the second interpretation, the character is related to the original meaning of [[巨]].

Unrelated to [[巠]] > [[𢀖]] and [[壬]].

===Etymology 1===
An area word; compare {{cog|my|ခိုင်း||to order or ask someone to do something}}, {{cog|omx|kloñ|tr=kloɲ|t=to work}}, {{cog|omx|klon|tr=klon|t=to have charge of cultivation}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

Cognate with {{och-l|功|merit; achievement}}, {{och-l|攻|to attack}}. The senses evolved in the following manner: {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|工|t=work artisan}} > {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|功|t=merit; achievement}} > {{l-lite|zh|sc=Hani|攻|t=to attack}} (ibid.).
