犦 *broːwɢ, *poːwɢ
懪 *broːwɢ

Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *proːwɢs, *poːwɢ, *proːwɢ): semantic 火 + phonetic 暴 (OC *boːwɢs, *boːɡ). However, the phonetic component originally meant "violence", hence it could add part of the meaning. A conservative variant is 𤒺; later it was stylized into 爆.

Cognate with Burmese ပေါက် (pauk, “to explode, to burst”).

Note: paau3, bok3 - variant (uncommon).

Note: pag8 - used in 爆竹.
