Etymology
Written as 夝 in Shuowen and as 星 in the Classic of Poetry. Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *zleŋ): semantic 日 (“sun”) + phonetic 青 (OC *sʰleːŋ). Baxter and Sagart (2014) propose that it is from 清 (OC *tsʰeŋ, “clear”) with the intransitivizing/stativizing prefix *N-. Compare Proto-Hmong-Mien *ntshji̯əŋ (“clear”), whence White Hmong ntshiab. Alternatively, it is perhaps derived from 星 (OC *sleːŋ, “star”): "become starry" > "weather clearing during the night" > "clearing when the sun is coming out" (Schuessler, 2007).
