loan báo

Vietnamese

Etymology

    Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 關報 (SV: quan báo). See also loan tin.

    The first element here reflects of a form of 關 (MC kwaen) descended from *k.rˤ- instead of *kˤr-.

    Nohara (2023)[1] is an in-depth treatment into the lexeme "egg" in Old Chinese, presenting etymologically related pairs such as 卵 (MC lwanX, “egg”) (lateral onset, from *k.rˤ-) and 𢺄 (“fish egg”) (velar onset, from *kˤr-) as evidence for complex onsets/consonant clusters in Old Chinese.
