Etymology
Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 肉 (“meat”) + 豕 (“pig”). Wang (1982) derives 豚 (OC *lˁunʔ) from 腯 (OC *lˁut, “fat”). Its is probably related to: * 彖 (OC *l̥ʰoːns, “running pig”) and 貒 (OC *tʰoːn, “hog badger”), inside Chinese (Schuessler, 2007); and * Proto-Mienic *duŋᴮ (“pig”) (Sagart, 1999; Schuessler, 2007; Ratliff, 2010), as well as speculatively linked to Proto-Common Turkic *toŋuz (“pig”) and Middle Korean 돝 (twòth, “pig”) (Vovin 2011) outside of Chinese. Jacques (2022b) favors Wang-proposed internal Chinese etymology and rejects Mienic etymology as well as relation to 彖 (OC *l̥ˁon-s), which he thinks did not mean "running pig" at all (despite being glossed so by only Shuowen Jiezi).
