Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *kroːŋʔ, *ɡloːŋs) : semantic 水 (“river; water”) + phonetic 巷 (OC *ɡroːŋs).

Cognate with 江 (OC *kroːŋ, “river”) (Schuessler, 2007). The southern dialectal word originally meant "small river/stream", which is still preserved in some Min languages. The irregular pronunciation in Mandarin (expected Mandarin reflex is *jiǎng) originated from southern dialects where velars have not palatalized (Schuessler, 2007).
