Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – a pig. Compare 亥, 𢑓 (male pig), and 豖 (castrated male pig). See also the original version on oracle bones of 敢. Related to 㒸, in which however the pig is a phonetic component. Possibly from Austroasiatic (Schuessler, 2007). Compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *liik ~ *lik (“pig”) and Mon ကၠိက် (kloik, “pig”). Also occurs in the Cai-Long languages, from which Hölzl (2021) derives the name Ta-Li for the aforementioned language subgroup. Sagart; Jacques et al. (2019) consider the existence of Proto-Tani *rjek and then posit an inverted borrowing relationship from Sino-Tibetan into Austroasiatic. Based on theirs and also Jacques & Stevens (2024)'s research, the common ancestor of the Tani and Chinese words is reconstructible as Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ljeq.
