Etymology 1[edit]

STEDT relates it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *sja-n ~ *sin (flesh; animal; body), but recent Old Chinese reconstructions would not support this etymology.

Because is used as a phonetic for (OC *niŋ) in excavated texts, Baxter and Sagart (2012, 2014) reconstruct the initial as nasal. This would allow for a comparison to Tibetan སྙིང (snying, heart), Japhug sni (heart) (Baxter and Sagart, 2012; Zhang, Jacques and Lai, 2019), which are from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s/k-n(j)i-k/ŋ (heart; mind; brain).
