Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *rɯŋ) : semantic (ice) + phonetic (OC *rɯŋ).

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (to freeze; snow) (provisionally reconstructed) (STEDT).

Insides Sinitic, (OC *p.rəŋ ~ [r]əŋ) is cognate with (OC *p.rəŋ), (OC *pʰˁaŋ) "heavy snowfall", (OC *qraŋ, “*ʔraŋ”) "snowflake, sleet", & possibly also (OC [ŋ](r)əŋ) "to congeal" (STEDT; Baxter and Sagart, 2014);
Outsides Sinitic, cognate with Proto-Tani *pam (snow), Japhug jpɣom (to freeze), tɤjpɣom (ice) (STEDT; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019).

Alternatively, (OC *prjəŋ ~ prəŋ?) and (OC *b-rjəŋ ~ rəŋ) may be related to Old Khmer ប្រិង៑ (to harden; to solidify) from រិង៑ (to dry up), although the meanings are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007).
