Etymology 2

		phonetic

simp. (福禄)		福	禄

According to the Stele of Record of Tianfei Showing Her Presence and Power (天妃靈應之記碑) in Fujian detailing the Ming-era, Zheng He-led treasure voyages, the zebra, or the “speckled fu-lu” (花福祿), along with the lion (獅子 / 狮子 (shīzi)), were exotic tributes by the “State of Mu-gu-du-shu” (木骨都束國), i.e. modern-day Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. This word is thus a phono-semantic matching, making use of the semantics of Etymology 1 to adapt a foreign name, likely Somali farow (“zebra”); compare Arabic فَرَأ (faraʔ), فَراء (farāʔ, “onager; wild ass”).

Noun

福祿

(obsolete) zebra

Synonyms

斑馬／斑马 (bānmǎ)
