Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /pòʊɴ/
  • Romanization: MLCTS: pum • ALA-LC: puṃ • BGN/PCGN: pon • Okell: pouñ

Etymology 1

[edit]

Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Tibetan བབས (babs, “shape, form, appearance”), དབྱིབས (dbyibs, “shape, form, figure”) and Old Chinese 法 (OC *pqab, “law, norm”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Neither comparandum given above looks great, especially not the Chinese. 範 (OC *bomʔ, “model, pattern, mold”) seems like a much closer phonetic and semantic match, and Luce happens to give it as a cognate.[1]”
