梟

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(g/k)u (“owl”), which is also compared to 鴞 (OC *ɦraw, “owl”), 鵂 (OC *qʰu, “owl”), 舊 (OC *ɡʷɯs, “owl”) (STEDT). Compare Japhug pɣɤkhɯ (“owl”) (Zhang, Jacques and Lai, 2019).


烏

desc

→ English: O (Singapore, via Hokkien or Teochew)

Pictogram (象形) – a bird. Compare 鳥 (“bird”), of similar development. See also the original version of its variant 於.
; “crow; black; dark”
: Schuessler (2007) considers it to be onomatopoeic, and compares it with Proto-Loloish *akᴸ (“crow”).
: “Black; dark” is a semantic extension of “crow” – “black as a crow”. Compare 黑 (OC *hmlɯːɡ, “black”), which is cognate with 墨 (OC *mlɯːɡ, “ink”).
; “sun”
; interrogative pronoun

† - usually describes the color of cloth or thread

Nothing red is seen but foxes, nothing black but crows.

Pictogram (象形) – a swallow.
Possibly related to 鳦 (OC *qriːd, *qrid) (Wang, 1982). Some have connected it with 咽 (OC *qiːns, “to swallow”), but it is unlikely to be related (Schuessler, 2007).

燕

(historical) Yan, an ancient march, duchy, and kingdom of northeastern China during the Zhou dynasty

禽

In oracle bone inscriptions, pictogram (象形) of a net, originally the same character as 𠦒 and 畢. In bronze inscriptions, the phonetic component 今 (OC *krɯm) was added, making the character phono-semantic (形聲 /形声, OC *ɡrɯm). This form was borrowed for its modern meaning, and the original meaning of "capture" came to be represented by 擒 (OC *ɡrɯm).
In the modern form, 今 has corrupted into 人 and 𠦒 into 离. Compare with 畢.

禽流感


翡

Maybe a cognate of 緋 (OC *pɯl, “bright red”).


翰

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ɡaːn, *ɡaːns): phonetic 倝 (OC *kaːns) + semantic 羽 (“feather”).

Han compound

(obsolete on its own in Standard Chinese) golden pheasant


隼

/ʈ͡ʂu̯ən²¹⁴/

/ʈ͡ʂu̯ən²¹⁴/

The upper component is a reference to a bird with a short tail, in this case a falcon, and is used both as a semantic and phonetic component. Originally, it was written as 鵻. Then it became 隼 and eventually 鶽.

鴥彼飛隼

雁

CJKV/code

Sino-Xenic (雁):
* → Japanese: 雁(がん) (gan)
* → Vietnamese: nhạn (雁)

→ Vietnamese: ngan (鴳)

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ŋraːns): phonetic 厂 (OC *hŋaːnʔ, *hŋaːns) + semantic 人 + semantic 隹.
Ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa-n (“goose”) (tentatively reconstructed); cognate with Tibetan ངང་པ (ngang pa), Burmese ငန်း (ngan:).
Related to 鵝 (OC *ŋaːl, “domestic goose”); both 鵝 and 雁 likely reflect an earlier liquid final (Schuessler, 2007; cf. Baxter and Sagart's reconstruction). Alternatively, it may derive from 鵝 with nominalizing suffix *-n, but this Chinese-internal derivation is problematic in light of the cognates in Tibeto-Burman (Schuessler, 2007; Alves, 2015b); but see Hill (2019) also, as noted in the etymology of 鵝.
Possible relationship with Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (“goose”) has been noted by some (Mayrhofer, 1976; Alves, 2015b).

雉

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-rik ~ *s-ryak (“pheasant, partridge”) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007).
*Inside Chinese, cognate with 翟 (OC *r'aːwɢ, *l'eːwɢ, “long-tailed pheasant”) and 雒 (OC *ɡ·raːɡ).
*Outside Chinese, cognate with Burmese ရစ် (rac), Tibetan སྲེག་པ (sreg pa, “partridge”), Mizo va-hrit. & possibly Chepang [script needed] (rut-waʔ).

鴉

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *qraː): phonetic 牙 (OC *ŋraː) + semantic 鳥 (“bird”).
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ka-n (“crow”). Doublet of 烏 (OC *qaː, “crow; raven”) . The Middle Chinese of 鴉 retains the earlier vowel.
Schuessler (2007) disputes Old Chinese reconstructions with medial *-r-, reasoning that 鴉's place among Division II syllables (often from Old Chinese syllables containing *-r-) results rather from archaism which preserves the original vowel's quality.

鷹

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意) and phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *qɯŋ): phonetic 䧹 (OC *qɯŋ, “eagle; hawk”) + semantic 鳥 (“bird”).
This word is possibly related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-la(ŋ/k) (“bird of prey”), which is likely a loan from Proto-Mon-Khmer *laŋ ~ *laaŋ ~ *laiŋ (“large raptor”) > Proto-Bahnaric *klaːŋ (“hawk”), Proto-Palaungic *klaːŋ (“kite”), Mon လနေၚ် (“kite”), Khmer ខ្លែង (khlaeng, “kite”); within Tibeto-Burman, compare Tibetan གླག (glag, “eagle; vulture”), Burmese လင်းတ (lang:ta., “vulture”), Jingpho lang (“bird of the falcon family”) (Benedict, 1972; STEDT).
This word agrees better with Tibetan སྐྱིང་སེར (skying ser, “eagle; vulture”) if the Old Chinese is reconstructed as *s-ki̯əŋ (Benedict, 1990; Schuessler, 2007); Benedict (1976) reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-kiŋ for this, which Benedict (1990) suggests is the native Sino-Tibetan root.

鸝

Attested somewhat late, earliest in "Rhapsody on Gaotang [Shrine]" (高唐賦), attributed to Song Yu & included in Selections of Refined Literature:
*
Guo Pu (郭璞) glosses 鸝 as meaning " yellowish black"; and also proposes that the black-naped orioles are named 鸝黃／鹂黄 (líhuáng) after "their yellow and sallow black colorings"; Li Shan (李善) apparently relates the birds' color 鸝／鹂 to the horses' coat-color 驪／骊 (lí, “pure black”) by treating each graph as the other's variant.

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *ŋaːl): phonetic 我 (OC *ŋaːlʔ) + semantic 鳥.
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa-n (“goose”); cognate with Tibetan ངང་པ (ngang pa), Burmese ငန်း (ngan:). However, the final consonants of the proposed cognates are possibly irreconcilable; they could instead be independently coined through onomatopoeia (Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019).

It was very cold outside; so cold that the child cried, and the rain clouds were coming up fast, so she hurried back to the hut, and, together with Dick, made her breakfast off some biscuit and some roast penguin’s eggs, which were not at all bad eating. [original English]
It was very cold then. Dick endured the cold and cried. The rain clouds gathered again, so [she] hurried back to the hut, and [they] both entered. [They] ate some biscuit, and [they] cooked the penguin’s eggs and ate them. [literal English translation]

From 麻雀 (máquè, “sparrow”), with a Wu diminutive suffix /ŋ̍/ (syllabic velar nasal), retained in some Wu languages (compare Wenzhounese /ŋ̍/). This suffix then fused with the preceding syllable, and was conserved in the form of a nasal coda /-ŋ/. As an example compare Shanghainese 雀 (old pron.: /t͡ɕia̠ʔ⁵/) + /-ŋ̍/ → 將 /t͡ɕiã⁵³/.
The game of mahjong was called 馬吊／马吊 (mǎdiào) during the Ming and Qing dynasties, where the second syllable presumably represented a Wu pronunciation of 鳥／鸟 (niǎo) ("bird", see there for more).

Perhaps ultimately from Sanskrit चकोर (cakora, “partridge”) (Ali, 1949 and Schafer, 1967; apud Bocci & Ptak, 2016).

Chinese francolins can be found everywhere in the open fields of Wu and Chu and are [also] widely spread in Lingnan. Their white, tender meat is by far better than chicken or pheasant [meat], and it can act as an antidote against poisoning by the pueraria pea and mushrooms. [These birds] have white dots on the breast and purple-reddish feathers in the middle of the back. They are as big as wild fowl and often tweet to one another.

Taiping Guangji (Extensive Records of the Taiping Era), 978 CE

There is in the south a bird, called Yuanchu — do you know it? Starting from the South Sea, it flies to the Northern; never resting but on the wutong, never eating but the fruit of the lian tree, and never drinking but from the purest springs.

Zhuangzi, circa 3ʳᵈ – 2ⁿᵈ centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Nánfāng yǒu niǎo, qí míng wéi yuānchú, zǐ zhī zhī hū? Fú yuānchú fā yú Nánhǎi ér fēi yú Běihǎi, fēi wútóng bùzhǐ, fēi liànshí bùshí, fēi lǐquán bùyǐn.

南方有鳥，其名為鵷鶵，子知之乎？夫鵷鶵發於南海而飛於北海，非梧桐不止，非練實不食，非醴泉不飲。

南方有鸟，其名为鹓𬸅，子知之乎？夫鹓𬸅发于南海而飞于北海，非梧桐不止，非练实不食，非醴泉不饮。
