Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *sʰaːɡs, *sʰaːɡ) : semantic 金 (“metal”) + phonetic 昔 (OC *sjaːɡ) – grindstone.

"whetstone, grindstone"
From 磋 (OC *sʰlaːl, “to rub; to polish”) + suffix -k (Schuessler, 2007). Related to 厝 (OC *sʰaːɡs, *sʰaːɡ).
"criss-cross, interlocking, alternating, ornate"
Related to 醋 (OC *sʰaːɡs), 胙 (OC *zaːɡs) and 祚 (OC *zaːɡs). Perhaps semantically extended to "mistake" (Schuessler, 2007).
"lake"
Borrowed from Tibetan མཚོ (mtsho, “lake”).
"cerium"
Borrowed from English cerium.

Note:

  • cuòr - “error; mistake; fault”.

Note:

  • chó̤ - vernacular;
  • cháuk - literary.
