Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *prud) and ideogrammic compound (會意会意) : semantic (bamboo) + phonetic (OC *b·lud, writing brush) – a hand holding a brush . The bamboo () refers to the material of traditional Chinese brushes.

Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b-ris (to draw; picture) or *rit (to draw; boundary) (STEDT). Related to (OC *b·lud); more distant cognates from the allofamic root *b-rəy (to draw, mark; boundary) include (OC *rɯʔ, “to cut jade, put in order”), Tibetan འབྲི ('bri, to write), Burmese ရေး (re:, to write).

Benedict (1972) surmises that this might ultimately be a loan from Austro-Tai into Sino-Tibetan; compare Proto-Austronesian *bulut (hairy filaments of certain plants, husk) (> Cebuano bulut).
