References: Mostly from Richard Sears'Chinese Etymology site (authorisation), which in turn draws data from various collections of ancient forms of Chinese characters, including: Shuowen Jiezi (small seal), Jinwen Bian (bronze inscriptions), Liushutong (Liushutong characters) and Yinxu Jiaguwen Bian (oracle bone script).

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*raŋs): semantic 人(“person”) + phonetic 京(OC*kraŋ). In the variant𠅙, the body of the tower is more recognizable.

Part of anAustroasiatic word family; compareKhmer[script needed](-rāṃṅa,“to be light; to be bright”) (Schuessler, 2007), fromProto-Mon-Khmer*raaŋʔ(“light; to shine”); as well as:

• ស្រាំង(srang,“to be pale; to be colourless”) with爽 (OC*sraŋʔ),
• [script needed](brāṅa,“to grow light (after dark)”) with炳 (OC*praŋʔ).
• បំព្រាង(bɑmpriəng,“to shed a pale light”) with明 (OC*mraŋ).

Alternatively, STEDT compares it toProto-Kuki-Chin*klaaŋ-I,*klaan-II(“to shine; light; bright”).
