Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *ŋral) : semantic 亻 + phonetic 義 (OC *ŋrals).

Etymology

Sino-Tibetan in origin. Cognate with the following (Schuessler (2007), STEDT):

  • 宜 (OC *ŋral, “proper; suitable”)
  • 義 (OC *ŋrals, “righteous”)
  • 議 (OC *ŋrals, “to discuss; to comment; to criticize”)
  • 犧 (OC *hŋral, “sacrifice (v., n.)”)

Schuessler (2007) considers them to be cognate with Mizo ŋaiᴴ / ŋaiʔᴸ (“to think; consider; be necessary; have need to; be customary”), Khumi Chin ŋài (“to wish; to need”), Lai ŋaaj / ŋaʔj (“to yearn; to long for”), Tedim Chin ŋaːi² (“to love”).

On the other hand, STEDT provisionally sets up Proto-Kuki-Chin *ŋaay (“listen; hark”), which is compared to the 5 Sinitic words.
