Historical forms of the character涼
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled inHan)
Small seal script

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*ɡ·raŋ, *ɡ·raŋs, *ɡ·raŋs): semantic 氵(“water”) + phonetic 京(OC*kraŋ).

FromProto-Sino-Tibetan*m/s-glak ~ m-glaŋ(“cold; freeze”). Cognate with霜 (OC*sraŋ, “frost”),Tibetanགྲང་(grang,“cold”). According toSchuessler (2007), this etymon seems to have a wider distribution: Compare AustroasiaticKhariaraŋga(“cold; freeze”),Khmerរងា(rɔngiə,“cold”).

A derivative is probably凔 (OC*sʰaːŋ, “cold”). A vocalic variant is冷 (OC*raːŋʔ, *reːŋ, *reːŋʔ, “cold”).
