Etymology

edit

STEDT relates it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *wal (“round; circular”), which is also connected to the following:

  • 圓 (OC *ɢon, “round”)
  • 圜 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “round”)
  • 旋 (OC *sɢʷans, “to revolve; to return”)
  • 環 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “ring”)
  • 還 (OC *ɡʷraːn, “to return”)
  • 院 (OC *ɦŋons, “courtyard”).

暈 (OC *ɢuns, “halo”) is the same word (Schuessler, 2007). It is possibly related to 雲 (OC *ɢun, “cloud”) (ibid.).

Additionally, Karlgren (1933) relates it to 圍 (OC *ɢʷɯl, “to surround”), and Wang (1982) to 回 (OC *ɡuːl, “to return”).
