Etymology
Originally an unorthodox variant of 牀. Now made up of 广 (“house”) + 木 (“tree”), an ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意) representing a wooden furniture item (a bed) in a house. Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may be related to Khmer រង (rɔɔng, “to support from below”), Old Mon [script needed] (joṅ, “couch; bedstead”). Compare also Burmese စင် (cang, “platform, stage”) (Luce, 1981). Baxter & Sagart (2014) reconstructs OC prefixal *k- based on Vietic evidences: cf. Maleng [Brô] kacɨəŋ, Maleng [Kha Pong] kəcɨːŋ² , Chut [Sách, Rục] kəcɨːŋ².
