Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mraŋ. Compare Burmese မြင် (mrang, “to see”).
Verb
唐 (*lˤɑŋ)
- to see
References
Chinese
Glyph origin
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *ɡl'aːŋ): phonetic 庚 (OC *kraːŋ) + semantic 口 (“mouth”) – to exaggerate, to boast. 唐 and 庚 were near-homophones in Old Chinese. The phonetic component on top 庚 today appears slightly contracted (the bottom part 人 is missing).
