Historical forms of the character ふう

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).
