Etymology 1

Related to (OC *ljaːɡ, “evening tide”).

Schuessler (2007) suggests it is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *rV-jak (day; full day; to spend the night); cognate with Tibetan ཞག (zhag, day (24 hours)), Mizo riak (to pass the night), Jingpho [script needed] (jaʔ⁵⁵, day (24 hours)), Burmese ရက် (rak, day (24 hours)), Lahu (night; to pass the night); may also be cognate with 宿 (OC *suɡs, *suɡ, “to spend the night”) and (OC *sjaːɡ, “former times”). It is noted that in the oracle bone script, the 24 hour day started and ended some time in the evening or night. Since (, “sun”) has acquired the meaning of "day (24 hours)", was then restricted to the time of the day's end.

On the other hand, STEDT suggests (OC *ljaːɡ, “evening; night”) was derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ja-n (night), from which (OC *laːɡs, “night”) was also derived. However, was also compared to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *rV-jak (day; full day; to spend the night). Schuessler (2007) assigns Chinese () to *ja (night) instead, and notes *ja (night) and *ryak (day (24 hours)) were kept strictly separate in Tibeto-Burman.
