Glyph origin

[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲形声, OC *nuʔ) : semantic (metal) + phonetic (OC *n̥ʰuʔ).

Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-na ~ s-naːr (nose); see there for more discussion.

The Manchu surname is clipping of 鈕祜祿钮祜禄 (Niǔhùlù), from Manchu ᠨᡳᠣᡥᡠᡵᡠ (niohuru, a wolf).
