Pictogram (象形) – a boat. It appears in the shape of月 in前.
According toSchuessler (2007), a loan fromProto-Mon-Khmer*ɗuuk ~ *ɗuk(“boat, canoe”), whenceKhmerទូក(tuuk) andVietnamesenốc (<Proto-Vietic*ɗoːk(“boat”)). Foreign closed syllables having a long main vowel often correspond to open syllables in Old Chinese.
Possibly cognate of輈 (OC*tɯw, “trunk, pole”) (Schuessler, 2007).
Yang Xiong'sFangyan says that Old Chinese舟 (OC*tjɯw) is common in central and eastern China, while its synonym船 (OC*ɦljon) is used in western China.
