Etymology

[edit]

STEDT compares it with Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-jim ~ k-jum (“house”); see there for hypothesized cognates.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Any explanation for the deviation from the "expected Mandarin reflex" form of jiōng and the actual observed pronunciation of gōng? Why did this fail to affricate? Was this re-imported into Mandarin from Cantonese, or was the Mandarin otherwise influenced by another non-affricating Chinese language?”
