Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ka-n (“crow”). Cognate with 烏 (OC *qaː, “crow; raven”). The Middle Chinese of 鴉 retains the earlier vowel.
Schuessler (2007) disputes Old Chinese reconstructions with medial *-r-, reasoning that 鴉's place among Division II syllables (often from Old Chinese syllables containing *-r-) results rather from archaism which preserves the original vowel's quality.
