Etymology

Uncertain. Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 夃 + 皿 (“vessel”). Meaning of the 夃 component is unclear. Compare Proto-Tibeto-Burman *(p/b)liŋ (“full; fill”), whence Chepang ब्लीङ्सा (bliŋ‑, “to be full; fill”), Burmese ပြည့် (prany., “to be full”), Burmese ဖြည့် (hprany., “to add”) (Schuessler, 2007, STEDT). An allofam is perhaps 孕 (OC *lɯŋs, “pregnant”), as well as 填 (OC *diːn, *diːns, *tin, *tins, “to fill up”) (Schuessler, 2007). Despite STEDT's suggestion, 贏 (OC *leŋ, “surplus, profit; to win”) is probably not related, in light of Baxter and Sagart's later Old Chinese reconstruction.
