Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *l'uːʔ): semantic 禾 (“grain, cereal, rice”) + phonetic 舀 (OC *lowʔ, *lu, *lo).
Etymology
Area word (rice culture originated in the south). Often compared with Proto-Hmong-Mien *mbləu (“rice plant/paddy”), whence White Hmong nplej (Bodman, 1980).
The relationship with similar-looking Mon-Khmer words is ambiguous (Schuessler, 2007). Ferlus (2010) proposes a connection to Proto-Austroasiatic *srɔ(ː)ʔ (“paddy”) (Sidwell's 2024 reconstruction; revised from Shorto's 2006 *sruʔ), which in turn is linked to Proto-Austroasiatic *sroʔ (“taro”) (Sidwell's 2024 reconstruction; revised from Shorto's 2006 *t₂rawʔ), as the two plants share the same farming niche.
Alternatively, Sagart (2011) derives this word from 舀 (OC *lowʔ, *lu, *lo, “to scoop (hulled grain) from a mortar”). If so, since the Hmong-Mien comparandum only has the derived sense of “rice”, it would be borrowed from Chinese rather than the other way around.
The native Min word 粙 may be a variant (Schuessler, 2007, apud Norman, p.c.).
