Etimoloji
Originally a pictogram (象形), 夂 (definition 2) – the knot at the end of a cord. Later reformulated as a phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *tjuŋ): semantic 糹 + phonetic 冬 (OC *tuːŋ). Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Chepang दोङःसा (doŋʔ‑, “to end; to cease”), Lai [script needed] (doŋ / doʔŋ, “to end”) (Schuessler, 2007). Wang (1982) derives 冬 (OC *tuːŋ, “winter”) from this word.
