Etymology 2

Possibly the same word as , the possessive marker (Wang, 1958), but scholars like Lü (1943) and Yuan et al. (1996) are hesitant about this etymology.

Alternatively, Ōta (2003) proposes that it is a grammaticalization of etymology 1. The construction ADJ + would have semantically developed as follows: "a ADJ place" → "in a ADJ place" → "in a ADJ manner".
