Notes

This etymon is set up in STC #278 (and note 201), where the Tibetan, Jingpho, and rGyalrong forms are cited.

Possibly to be compared with this etymon is Chinese (Mand. luǎn) ‘ovum; egg; spawn’, perhaps with the collective *-n suffix. See note under #3438 PTB *(r/l)um EGG for an alternative etymology.
