Proto-Sino-Tibetan
Etymology
- Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *kjəngw ~ *gjəngw (Coblin, 1986)
- Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *guŋ (Matisoff, STEDT; Benedict, 1972; Chou, 1972); *gung (LaPolla, 1987; Coblin, 1986)
Despite the phonetic resemblance between this root, Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(k/g)um (“body, back”) and Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(k/ʔ)uk (“back, crooked”), the three are probably unrelated.
Descendants
- Old Chinese: 躬 (gōng) /*k(r)uŋ/ (B-S), /*kuŋ/ (ZS) (“body”)
- Middle Chinese: 躬 (gōng /kɨuŋ/, “body”)
