Historical forms of the character 浴
Warring States	Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)
Chu slip and silk script	Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *loɡ) : semantic 氵 (“water”) + phonetic 谷 (OC *ɦkroːɡ, *kloːɡ, *ɡ·loːɡ) – bathe in water.

Schuessler (2007) considers it to be an area word.

Within Sino-Tibetan, Chinese, Tibetan, and Tani have a final *-k, while other Tibeto-Burman languages have open syllables; compare Tibetan ལྡུགས (ldugs, “to pour”), Proto-Tani *lɯk (“to pour”), Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-lu(w) (“to pour; to bathe”) (whence Angami [script needed] (rəlu, “to pour”), Garo rua (“to pour”), S'gaw Karen [script needed] (lu, “to pour”), Karbi [Term?] (iŋ lú, “to bathe; to wash”)) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).

Outside of Sino-Tibetan, compare words in the Pearic languages, such as Chong [script needed] (kʰruk, “to pour”) (Schuessler, 2007).

It is unclear how and whether 冶 (OC *laːʔ, “to smelt; to cast”) is related (Schuessler, 2007).
