摘要
漢語動物雌性稱謂中隱含有原始漢藏語的信息。漢語表動物雌性義的“草”與藏緬語的“草”具有同源關係,而藏緬語不少語言中的“草”與“矮小”義同源,漢語表雌性義的“草”也同樣來源於“矮小”義的隱喻。表動物雌性義的“㹀”,一般認爲是“牸”的訛字,本文認爲“㹀”與“牸”爲同義詞;“㹀”與“母”“豝”具有同源關係,其構詞理據與“牸”相似,都來源於“孕育”義的轉喻,有“雌性”義;其構形方式也和“牸”具有平行性,由聲符“孛”添加義符“牛”而形成。“草”與“㹀”正好揭示了漢語動物雌性稱謂在原始漢藏語中的不同來源。
Some forms of address of the female animal in Chinese should from Sino-Tibetan common language.The usage of the female animal of Cao“草”is compared with those in Tibeto-Burman languages;the word that referents grass is cognate with the word that means short in Tibeto-Burman languages.It is the same in Chinese.That is,Cao“草”referents female animal also come from the metaphor of short,The usage of the female animal of Bó“㹀”is compared with the word that referents female in other languages;The word formation of Bó“㹀”is familiar with Zi“㹀”,which is constituted of phonetic symbol Bó“孛”“female”and semantic symbol“牛”.
