About
The character '谭' is etymologically a phono-semantic compound, integrating the semantic radical '言' denoting speech with the phonetic component '覃' to indicate sound, a configuration evident in its traditional variant '譚'. While its early meaning centered on verbal exchange and conversation, the character's semantic range contracted over centuries, leading to its contemporary role primarily as a surname, with its original sense of discourse becoming archaic and largely supplanted by other lexical items.
