Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *l̥ʰeːŋ, *l̥ʰeːŋs) : phonetic 𡈼 (OC *l̥ʰeːŋʔ) + semantic 耳 (“ear”) + semantic 㥁.

to listen > to believe > to obey > to allow

This is traditionally considered to have the same origin as 聖 (OC *hljeŋs, “to hear; wise; sage”) and 聲 (OC *qʰjeŋ, “sound”). Additionally, it may be also related to 聆 (OC *reːŋ, “to hear; to listen”) (Wang, 1982).

Outside connections unclear, although note Proto-Hlai *hliːŋ (“to hear (it said)”) < Pre-Hlai *(h)leːŋ (Norquest, 2007).

Derivatives:

• 廳 (OC *l̥ʰeːŋ, “hall, i.e. where hearings take place”)
• 廷 (OC *l'eːŋ, *l'eːŋʔ, “palace courtyard”).
