Etymology
Earliest attested on the late Shang bronze 作册般銅黿. phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, *pap): semantic 氵 (“water”) + semantic 廌 (“a type of antelope or caprid”) + abbreviated phonetic 盍 (*gˤap). Later, 廌 was omitted. In bronze inscriptions, mostly used for 廢 (OC *pas, “to cast aside; to waste”): A notable exception is the early Western Zhou 大盂鼎, where 灋 is analyzed as 廢 in the sense of "great" (per Erya 《釋詁》：「廢，大也。」): Sino-Tibetan. Cognate with Tibetan བབས (babs, “shape, form, appearance”), དབྱིབས (dbyibs, “shape, form, figure”), Burmese ပုံ (pum, “shape, form”). Possibly cognate with 凡 (OC *bom, “all, general, every; pattern, general rule”); see there for more.
