| | Old Chinese | | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------ | | 獻 | *sŋaːl, *hŋans, *ŋrad | | 甗 | *ŋan, *ŋranʔ, *ŋrans | | 巘 | *ŋranʔ, *ŋanʔ | | 讞 | *ŋranʔ, *ŋrans, *ŋrad | | 鬳 | *ŋans | | 瓛 | *ɦŋʷaːn | | 囐 | *sɡaːd | | 齾 | *ŋaːd, *ŋraːd | | 钀 | *ŋrad, *ŋad |

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sŋaːl, *hŋans, *ŋrad) : phonetic 鬳 (OC *ŋans) + semantic 犬 (“dog”).

Same word as 憲 (OC *hŋans) (Schuessler, 2007), its basic meaning being seemingly "elevate > to be elavated".

Inside the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family, it's related to 甗 (OC *ŋan, *ŋranʔ, *ŋrans, “a cooking vessel consisting of a steamer 'elevated' on a three-legged boiler”). Furthermore, it's possibly cognate to Tibetan སྔར་མ (sngar ma, “sharp-witted, quick-witted, intelligent”) (ibid., Gong, 2000).

  From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE
  Zǐyuē: “Xiàlǐ, wú néng yán zhī, Qǐ bùzú zhēng yě; Yīnlǐ, wú néng yán zhī, Sòng bùzú zhēng yě. Wénxiàn bùzú gù yě, zú zé wú néng zhēng zhī yǐ.” [Pinyin]
  The Master said, "I could describe the ceremonies of the Xia dynasty, but Qi cannot sufficiently attest my words. I could describe the ceremonies of the Yin dynasty, but Song cannot sufficiently attest my words. (They cannot do so) because of the insufficiency of their records and wise men. If those were sufficient, I could adduce them in support of my words."
