Historical forms of the character ふう
Shang Western Zhou Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Oracle bone script Bronze inscriptions Small seal script Transcribed ancient scripts

Ideogrammic (會意かいい会意かいい) and phono-semantic compound (形聲けいせい形声けいせい, OC *poŋ, *poŋs) : abbreviated phonetic (OC *pʰoŋ, seedling) + (dirt) + すん (hand) – mark boundaries by planting trees. Compare くに.

Originally (OC *pʰoŋ), depicting a tree seedling. Variants that added any combination of (“dirt”), また (“hand”), (“field”), (“kneeling person with hands stretched out”) appeared from bronze inscriptions onwards.

Etymology

[edit]

Area etymon (Schuessler, 2007). Compare Tibetan ཕུང་པོ (phung po, heap), Tibetan སྤུང (spung, heap), Lepcha ᰣᰦᰎᰪᰵ (a-pŭŋ, a heap; a stock), Mizo [Term?] (puŋᴴ), [Term?] (punᴸ, increase; assemble), Mizo vûng (vuuŋᴴ), vûn (vuunᴸ, swollen), Mizo vûng (vuuŋᴿ, heap; mound), Chepang भुङ्‌हसा (bhuŋh-, to be burst or peak of activity (flowering, field work etc.)). Compare also Khmer ពោង (poong, protuberances/bumps on an animal's head), Khmer សំពោង (sɑmpoong, puffed up; swollen).

くに (OC *proːŋ, “country”) may be the same etymon (Wang, 1982, Schuessler, 2007).
