## Chinese
### Glyph origin

Historical forms of the character 邑 :
| Shang | Western Zhou | Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han) | Liushutong (compiled in Ming) |
| Oracle bone script | Bronze inscriptions | Small seal script | Transcribed ancient scripts |
| | Old Chinese |
| 唈 | *qɯːb, *qrɯb |
| 浥 | *qrɯːb, *qab, *qrɯb |
| 裛 | *qrab, *qab, *qrɯb |
| 俋 | *r'ɯb |
| 挹 | *qɯb |
| 邑 | *qrɯb |
| 悒 | *qrɯb |
Ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 囗 (“enclosure; city wall”) + 卪 (“kneeling person”). The bottom part of the radical is unrelated to 巴 and the top component is most likely unrelated to the original version of 丁.

### Etymology

Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Schuessler (2007) proposes two possible etymologies:
* From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *Ɂip (“shelter”), whence also 葺 (OC *ʔsib, *sʰib, *zib, “thatch”). Said root is apparently allofamic with Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-y(i/u)p (“to sleep”), whence Burmese အိပ် (ip, “to sleep”) (STEDT).
* Related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-jim ~ k-jum (“house”), whence Burmese အိမ် (im), Tibetan ཁྱིམ (khyim).
