Etymology

[edit]

Starostin reconstructs Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋō̆j (~-ō̆l) (high, rise) and compares to Burmese ငွား (ngwa:, be large, great, be high, to project prominently above and beyond others), Jingpho [script needed] (ŋoi, to rise, as a hill); & possibly Proto-Kiranti *ŋo-.

Schuessler (2007) notes that Chinese and Written Burmese can be reconciled by assuming an ST final *-l; furthermore, (OC *ŋoi) may be a vocalic variant of (OC *ŋui), which in turn is related to (OC *ŋuih).
