Etimoloji
Pictogram (象形) – A hand holding a stone blade, referring to a man working with a stone axe. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *paʔ (“male; father”). Regular development from Middle Chinese would lead to the labiodental fù in Mandarin, but the colloquial word resisted the sound changes and is now written as 爸 (bà), with the 巴 (bā) phonetic component added to it to indicate the unchanged bilabial initial.
