Etymology 2
| simp. and trad. |
田 | |
|---|---|---|
| alternative forms | 塍 堘 | |
The Min native word for “paddy field; field”.
Etymology unknown. Chinese scholars identify 塍 (OC *ɦljɯŋ, “raised path between fields”) as the etymological character (本字), although Norman proposes that this is related to 層 (OC *zɯːŋ, “layer”), reflecting the terraced fields commonly found in Fujian (Schuessler, 2007). Compare also 㽪 (“wet field”).
