Alternative forms

[edit]

Due to Han unification, different forms of the character are given the same codepoint. In simplified Chinese, Korean Hanja and Vietnamese Chữ Nôm, the upper right component is written 𠘧/几 to give 沿, which is the form found in the Kangxi dictionary. In traditional Chinese (Hong Kong and Taiwan), the upper right component is written 儿 to give 沿. In Japanese shinjitai, the upper right component is written 八 to give 沿.

Glyph origin

[edit]
Characters in the same phonetic series (沿) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
船 *ɦljon
沿 *lon
鉛 *lon

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *lon) : semantic 氵 (“water”) + phonetic 㕣 (OC *lon). The character originally referred to the edge of a river, and by extension, it came to represent the idea of "following along" or "accompanying."[1]

Etymology 1

[edit]

The same word as 緣 (OC *lon, “to go along”). Cognate with 緣 (OC *lons, “hem; border on garment”), which is the exopassive of 沿 (OC *lon) (literally "what is followed/follows") (Schuessler, 2007).

Possibly related to Proto-Tai, compare Thai เลียน (liian, “to mimic”), or from Sino-Tibetan; compare Mizo zeelᴸ (“to walk along, a road along a hillside”) and Jingpho mə³¹-jan³³ (“flow along a cliff”) (Schuessler, 2007); nevertheless, Schuessler finds Middle Chinese descendant's rounded element difficult to reconcile phonologically with these items and proposes also a derivation from 由 (OC *lɯw).
