Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ŋaŋ, *ŋraŋs): semantic 辶 + phonetic 卬 (OC *ŋaːŋ, *ŋaŋʔ). From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋra-k/ŋ (“to meet; to encounter”). Cognate with Burmese ငြင်း (ngrang:, “to refuse to obey; to argue”). Within Chinese, it is related to: * 禦 (OC *ŋaʔ, *ŋas, “to defend”) * 迕 (OC *ŋaːs, “to meet; to go against”) * 迓 (OC *ŋraːs, “to receive; to defend”) * 溯 (OC *sŋaːɡs, “to go upstream”) * 逆 (OC *ŋraɡ, “to greet; to go against; to resist”)
