“與”“舉”古讀補説——兼談“夜”的擬音問題

A Supplementary Discussion on the Old Chinese Reading of Yu(與)and Ju(舉):On the Proposals of Reconstructing Ye(夜)

通過對出土文獻中"與"和"舉"字詞對應關係的全面考察,證實"與{與}"和"舉{舉}"都曾經兼有過以母和牙音聲母兩類聲紐特徵的階段,戰國時代二者的讀音還没有完全分化。由此切入來檢驗當前幾家有代表性的古音構擬方案,認爲將以母字"與""夜"的聲母擬作^(*)Gl-是目前比較合理的説法。

Through a comprehensive study of the graphic form and sound-meaning between與(yu)and舉(ju)from the excavated texts,it is confirmed they have gone through a stage of pronouncing close both to"yi(以母)"and glottal(牙音).Such features can still be detected in the Warring States period,which suggests they have not fully divided.This paper exams several important reconstructing systems based on the new evidence and proposes that yu(與)and ye(夜)may be reconstructed as^(*)Gl-.
