戰

Glyph origin
– battling with a halberd.

Etymology
thinks it a cognate to, , both from , yet thinks it unlikely that Old Chinese *t- corresponds to Tibeto-Burman *r-.

Instead he proposes that "war, battle" is semantically extended from "tremble, fear" and so is cognate with  (ibid.); STEDT in turn derives them both from.
