Radical 74 月

月 (Kangxi radical 74, 月+0, 4 strokes, cangjie input 月 (B), four-corner 7722₀, composition ⿵⺆𠄠)

Kangxi radical #74, ⽉.

Usage notes

Do not confuse 月 with ⺼, a form of 肉 (“flesh, meat”) when used as the left-hand radical of a character. ⺼ is used for parts of the body such as 背 (“back”) or 肝 (“liver”). These may be written identically as 月, but in careful use they are distinguished, with the inside of ⺼ being written with unattached diagonal strokes. This is particularly an issue in looking up characters by radical; compare the 月 index and 肉 index.

Older/orthodox forms such as the Kangxi dictionary forms may additionally distinguish components that are related to neither 月 nor 肉, such as e.g. 朋, 前 or 服 where the two horizontal strokes 一 would be written as two unattached dots 丶 instead. Also, the bottom part of 青(靑) components would be written as 円. The orthodox 月 and ⺼ components, while similar, would still be distinguished slightly: they both use horizontal strokes, but ⺼ connects them to the ⺆ shape on both sides, and 月 only connects them on the left side.

Pictogram (象形) – pictographic representation of a crescent moon. Related to 夕 (xī) and interchangeable in the past, but both are unrelated to 多, in which it represents two pieces of meat stylized as 夕.

Unrelated to:

前, in which it represents a boat 舟 (歬 > 𠝣 > 𣦃 > 前);
朕, in which it represents a boat again (𦩎 > 𦨶 > 朕)
青, in which it represents cinnabar 丹 (𤯞 > 靑 > 青);
赢, in which it represents the elongated face of a kind of dragon, perhaps a Panlong;
祭 and 將, in which it represents sacrificed meat stylized as 𱼀;
然, in which it represents dog meat (肰).
肖 and 有, in which it represents just meat.

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ŋʷ(j)a-t (“moon; star”), whence also Magar (gya hot, “moon”), Proto-Lolo-Burmese *mwatᴸ (“star; moon”) (whence Lahu məʔ-kə (“star”)), Drung gurmet (“star”) (Matisoff, 1980; LaPolla, 1987; STEDT).

Various alternative etymologies have also been proposed:

Unger (1992) proposes cognation with Tibetan ངོ (ngo, “waxing and waning moon; half moon”) (as in མར་ངོ (mar ngo, “waning moon”) and ཡར་ངོ (yar ngo, “waxing moon”)), which Schuessler (2007) connects to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ŋow (“white; light colour”). However, Sagart (1999) points out that the Tibetan word may be analyzed as a derivative of Tibetan ངོ (ngo, “face”), which would mean the semantic connection between “moon” and “face” had to occur either independently in Chinese and Tibetan or in Proto-Sino-Tibetan; it also requires positing a suffix -t in Chinese.
Pulleybank (1995a) proposes another etymology based on the glyph for 名 (míng) (reconstructed as *màŋʲ), which he analyses as a phono-semantic compound of phonetic 夕 (xī, “moon”) and semantic 口 (kǒu, “mouth”). He suggests that the phonetic component represents a lost word *màŋʲ (“moon”), and reconstructs 月 as *mŋʲ (consonantal frame of “moon”) + *-at (suffix) > *ŋʲʷat. However, there are more straightforward ways of explaining the glyph origin of 名 (míng) (see there), which would nullify the hypothesis of the lost word.
Related to 越 (“to pass over; to cross over”) in some way.
- Mei (1979) derives 月 from 越 (OC **gjot > *gwjat): **N-gjot > *ngwjat. Also in this proposed word family is 歲 (OC **s-gjots > *skwjadh, “year”). The semantics of this word family is centred around "to pass; to elapse". While Matisoff (1980) seems supportive of this word family, STEDT reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *grwat (“to travel; to go through”) for 越 and 歲 / 岁 (suì), separate from the root for 月.
- Ferlus (2012) reconstructs the Old Chinese as *ŋ.wat and puts it in a word family formed from a Chinese root *wat, having a meaning of "circularity" or "circular boundary". This proposed word family includes 越 (OC *wat, “to cross over”), as in "to cross the enclosure of the village", and 外 (OC *ŋ.wat-s, “outside”), as in "out of the enclosure of the village".

がち Grade: 1
goon

/ɡʷat͡ɕi/ → /ɡat͡ɕi/

First attested in the Edo period.

According to a popular song, a 月 (gachi, “moon”) prostitute cost one 匁 (monme, old unit of currency, worth roughly 3.75 grams of silver), a 影 (kage, “shadow”) prostitute cost two monme, and a 汐 (shio, “tide; loveliness”) prostitute cost three monme.

Pronunciation

IPA:

Noun

月(がち) • (gachi)

(Kansai, historical) during the Edo period, a low rank of low-end prostitute
Synonyms: see Thesaurus:娼婦

See also: 影 (kage) and 汐 (shio)
