Characters in the same phonetic series (豔) (Zhengzhang, 2003)

	Old Chinese
豔	*lams
灩	*lams

Originally 豓. Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *lams) : semantic 豐 (“abundant, great”) + phonetic 盇 () (corrupted to 盍).

Etymology

Schuessler (2007) minimally reconstructs, though with uncertainty, *r-jams > *jams, compares it to Thai เรี่ยม (riam^B2), and proposes it was from Tai.
