Where it comes from

形聲漢字（上古 *ɦljon）：意符 舟 + 聲符 㕣 (上古 *lon) 。

源自原始漢藏語 *m-lawŋ (“船，艇”)。對比緬甸語 လောင်း (laung:，“長而窄的船”)。

Sagart (1999)認為上古漢語的船 (上古 *ɦljon)來自動詞沿 (上古 *lon, “順流而下”)。《方言》則稱是華西一帶用詞，不過在漢朝已普遍被華中、華東用詞舟 (上古 *tjɯw)所取代。

還有說法認為，本字的原始漢藏語詞根可能借自原始孟-高棉語 *d₂lu(u)ŋ ~ *d₂l(u)əŋ (“艇”)，其是孟語 ဂၠုၚ် (klɜ̀ŋ，“艇”)的源頭；可能衍生自原始孟-高棉語 *luŋh ~ *luuŋh ~ *ləŋh (“挖掘”)，參見高棉語 លុង (lung，“挖洞”)、越南語 trũng (“凹面的”)（Sidwell, 2006；Schuessler, 2007）。
