Historical forms of the character 譽
Shuowen Jiezi (compiled in Han)	Liushutong (compiled in Ming)
Small seal script	Transcribed ancient scripts

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *la, *las) : phonetic 與 (OC *la, *laʔ, *las) + semantic 言 (“say”).

Both 譽 (OC *las, “renown, praise (n.)”) and 譽 (OC *la, “to praise (v.)”) are related; the latter in turn is related to 舁 (OC *la, “to shoulder, to lift”) (Schuessler, 2007).

Ultimate origin is Sino-Tibetan: compare Tibetan རླ (rla) & བླ (bla, “over, above, upper, higher, superior”) (Schuessler, 2007; Coblin, 1986).

This word family is allofamic to 揚 (OC *laŋ), its Tibeto-Burman cognates, & ancestor Proto-Sino-Tibetan *laŋ; as well as 輿 (OC *la, *las) & 舉 (OC *klaʔ) (Schuessler, 2007, see also Baxter & Sagart, 1998).
