About
The character "喀" is structured as a phonetic compound, combining the mouth radical "口" with the phonetic element "客" to align with its pronunciation, reflecting its primary function in representing sounds produced by the mouth. Etymologically, it originated as an onomatopoeic character used to mimic specific auditory phenomena, such as the sound of coughing or the cracking of objects, and has also been adopted for transliterating foreign terms, like in "喀斯特" for "karst". Over time, its meaning has remained consistently tied to sound representation, without significant expansion into other semantic areas, and its traditional form has persisted without structural change, as it was not subject to simplification.
