Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声,OC*mrɯn, *mɯn): phonetic 門(OC*mɯːn) + semantic 虫(“snake”). The虫 radical was a common component of the names of barbarians (Schuessler, 2007), probably reflecting the Min people's worship of snakes (Li, 2017).
Matisoff (2003) relates it toProto-Sino-Tibetan*s-b/m-ruːl(“snake”), but this comparison is no longer held in STEDT.
In most modern Min dialects and some other southern dialects (including Hakka and Xiang), it is read with a level tone (平聲), which is the expected reflex based on rime dictionaries. In Mandarin and the remaining southern dialects, it is read with a rising tone (上聲), probably due to analogy with the phonetic component of閔 (MC minX) (Li, 2017).
