Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *pʰis) : semantic 尸 ‎(“body”) + phonetic 比 ‎(OC *piʔ, *pis, *bi, *bis, *biɡ). A word which understandably appears late in the literature.

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pja-n/t/s ‎(“fart; ****”). Cognate with Tibetan ཕྱེན ‎(phyen), འཕྱེན ‎('phyen, “flatulence”), Jingpho hpyet ‎(“to fart”).
