Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *bomʔ): semantic 犬 + phonetic 𢎘 (hàn). "To pass over" > "to offend against, oppose". Compare 氾. This character originally had bilabial nasal (*-m) final in Old and Middle Chinese, but had undergone dissimilation (from bilabial plosive *b-) to become *-n in most dialects. However, there are still some dialects that retain this feature, such as Meixian and Teochew dialect. Similar dissimilation happened in 帆 and 風.
