Radical 74月

月 (Kangxi radical 74,月+0, 4 strokes,cangjie input月 (B),four-corner7722₀,composition⿵⺆𠄠)

Kangxi radical #74,⽉.

Usage notes

[edit]

Do not confuse月 with⺼, a form of肉(“flesh, meat”) when used as the left-hand radical of a character.⺼ is used for parts of the body such as背(“back”) or肝(“liver”). These may be written identically as月, but in careful use they are distinguished, with the inside of⺼ being written with unattached diagonal strokes. This is particularly an issue in looking up characters by radical; compare the月 index and肉 index.

Older/orthodox forms such as the Kangxi dictionary forms may additionally distinguish components that are related to neither月 nor肉, such as e.g.朋,前 or服 where the two horizontal strokes一 would be written as two unattached dots丶 instead. Also, the bottom part of青(靑) components would be written as円. The orthodox月 and⺼ components, while similar, would still be distinguished slightly: they both use horizontal strokes, but⺼ connects them to the⺆ shape on both sides, and月 only connects them on the left side.

Pictogram (象形) – pictographic representation of acrescent moon. Related to夕(xī) and interchangeable in the past, but both are unrelated to多, in which it represents two pieces of meat stylized as夕.

Unrelated to:

前, in which it represents a boat舟 (歬 >𠝣 >𣦃 > 前);
朕, in which it represents a boat again (𦩎 >𦨶 > 朕)
青, in which it represents cinnabar丹 (𤯞 >靑 > 青);
赢, in which it represents the elongated face of a kind of dragon, perhaps aPanlong;
祭 and將, in which it represents sacrificed meat stylized as𱼀;
然, in which it represents dog meat (肰).
肖 and有, in which it represents just meat.

Etymology 1

[edit]

FromProto-Sino-Tibetan*s-ŋʷ(j)a-t(“moon; star”), whence alsoMagar[script needed](gya hot,“moon”),Proto-Lolo-Burmese*mwatᴸ(“star; moon”) (whenceLahuməʔ-kə(“star”)),Drunggurmet(“star”) (Matisoff, 1980;LaPolla, 1987; STEDT).

Various alternative etymologies have also been proposed:

Unger (1992) proposes cognation withTibetanངོ(ngo,“waxing and waning moon; half moon”) (as inམར་ངོ(mar ngo,“waning moon”) andཡར་ངོ(yar ngo,“waxing moon”)), whichSchuessler (2007) connects toProto-Sino-Tibetan*s-ŋow(“white; light colour”). However,Sagart (1999) points out that the Tibetan word may be analyzed as a derivative ofTibetanངོ(ngo,“face”), which would mean the semantic connection between “moon” and “face” had to occur either independently in Chinese and Tibetan or in Proto-Sino-Tibetan; it also requires positing a suffix-t in Chinese.
Pulleybank (1995a) proposes another etymology based on the glyph for名(míng) (reconstructed as*màŋʲ), which he analyses as a phono-semantic compound of phonetic夕(xī,“moon”) and semantic口(kǒu,“mouth”). He suggests that the phonetic component represents a lost word*màŋʲ(“moon”), and reconstructs月 as*mŋʲ (consonantal frame of “moon”) +*-at (suffix) >*ŋʲʷat. However, there are more straightforward ways of explaining the glyph origin of名(míng) (see there), which would nullify the hypothesis of the lost word.
Related to越(“to pass over; to cross over”) in some way.
- Mei (1979) derives月 from越 (OC **gjot > *gwjat):**N-gjot > *ngwjat. Also in this proposed word family is歲 (OC **s-gjots > *skwjadh, “year”). The semantics of this word family is centred around "to pass; to elapse". WhileMatisoff (1980) seems supportive of this word family, STEDT reconstructsProto-Tibeto-Burman*grwat(“to travel; to go through”) for越 and歲 /岁(suì), separate from the root for月.
- Ferlus (2012) reconstructs theOld Chinese as*ŋ.wat and puts it in a word family formed from a Chinese root*wat, having a meaning of "circularity" or "circular boundary". This proposed word family includes越 (OC *wat, “to cross over”), as in "to cross the enclosure of the village", and外 (OC *ŋ.wat-s, “outside”), as in "out of the enclosure of the village".
