Glyph origin

edit

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

Etymology

edit

Schuessler (2007) considers connection to Proto-Tai *plaːᴬ (fish) to be unlikely.

Norman (2014) compares it to Proto-Kam-Tai *mbləi (carp), suggesting that it may be an early loan from Chinese; compare Thai ปลาไน (nai, common carp), Lakkia [script needed] (-plai⁴, carp).

See the entry 雙鯉魚 for the figurative senses.

Pronunciation

  • lí - literary;
  • lē/lě, tāi/tai/tâi/tǎi - vernacular (often written as or 𩸙).
