Chinese

simp. and trad.		哭

Glyph origin

Characters in the same phonetic series (獄) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
	Old Chinese
嶽	*ŋroːɡ
鸑	*ŋroːɡ
哭	*ŋ̊ʰoːɡ
獄	*ŋoɡ

Shuowen interprets it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋ̊ʰoːɡ) : semantic 吅 (“to speak loudly”) + phonetic 獄 (OC *ŋoɡ), simplified to 犬.

Alternatively, it may be an ideogrammic compound (會意) : 吅 (“to speak loudly”) + 犬 (“dog”) – a dog's bark > cry; weep.
