Notes

This etymon is attested universally in Sino-Tibetan. The variant with final dental nasal is secondary, reflecting a rather widespread phenomenon of assimilation of final velars to medial -i-.

The semantic association between NAME and COMMAND probably stems from the notion of a superior designating a particular person to carry out a task.

In Baxter’s reconstruction, the OC forms with initial *mrj- are completely compatible with the reconstruction of PST prefixal *r-, which could easily have metathesized with the labial nasal in Chinese.
