Alternative forms

Note that there is no line above 生 in Japanese shinjitai. A CJK compatibility ideograph (U+F9DC) exists for the kyūjitai form of 隆 which has an extra line above 生. Due to Han unification, the Chinese form (with line above 生) and Japanese form (without line) are encoded under the same codepoint. The character 𨺓 (U+28E93) exists for the Chinese form with no line above 生.

Etymology

edit
"eminent; high"
Schuessler (2007) suggests it is of Austroasiatic origin; cognate with Khmer រុង (rung, “large; prosperous; prominent”), Khmer ស្រុង (srong, “(of clothing) very long”), 崇 (OC *zruŋ, “high”).
"thunder"
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-bru(ŋ/k) (“dragon; thunder”) (STEDT). Cognate with 龍 (OC *b·roŋ, *mroːŋ, “dragon”), 雹 (OC *bruːɡ, “hail”), Tibetan འབྲུག ('brug, “thunder; dragon”)

Pronunciation

edit
Note: lōng - in some compounds in Mainland, e.g. 轟隆／轰隆 (hōnglōng), 咕隆 (gūlōng), 黑咕隆咚.
Note: lung4-2 - as the second syllable in two-character business names.
