Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *l̥ʰiːmʔ) : semantic (tongue) + phonetic (OC *l̥ʰiːmʔ, *l̥ʰiːms).

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ljam (tongue; flame). The Cantonese vernacular reading (Guangzhou lim2 or lem2; Taishan liam2) preserves the Old Chinese lateral initial *l̥-.

Pronunciation

[edit]

Note:
  • tim2 - literary;
  • lim2, lem2 - vernacular.
