Where it comes from
象形漢字 - 描繪弓的形狀。
可能與原始藏緬語 *kuːŋ (“樹，樹枝，樹幹”)有關（Coblin, 1986）。語義上與彎曲的樹枝形狀有關聯。與緬甸語 ကိုင် (kuing，“彎曲，彎腰”)、အကိုင် (a.kuing，“莖；樹枝”)、梯頂語 [需要文字] (kung¹，“樹”)、景頗語 kung (“分岔；生長”)、lakung (“樹枝；肢體”)、絨巴語 [需要文字] (kóng，“樹枝”)、[需要文字] (kúng，“樹”)同源 (STEDT)。
Schuessler (2007)認為上古漢語 弓 (上古 *kʷɯŋ)和原始藏緬語 *kuːŋ都來自原始孟-高棉語 *koŋ，其也是涅固爾語 [需要文字] (kóoŋ，“（中間）彎曲”)、孟語 ကိုၚ် (“彎曲的”)、高棉語 កោង (kaong，“彎曲”)、卡西語 pyrkhung (“彎曲”)、比爾語 kuŋ (“彎曲”)、越南語 cong (“彎曲”)的來源。
也對比原始藏緬語 *ku(ː)m (“拱形的，弧形的”)。
衍生詞包括肱 (上古 *kʷɯːŋ)和穹 (上古 *kʰʷɯŋ)。
