Glyph origin

Etymology

Earliest extant attestation is in Discourses of the States (translated by Jacques, 2022b):

According to Schuessler (2007), pronunciation (OC *rə) is either related to or borrowed from Tibetan འབྲི ('bri, female yak), whose genuine cognate is Tamangic *Bprit (Jacques, d'Alpoim Guedes and Zhang, 2021).

Jacques, d'Alpoim Guedes and Zhang (2021) also propose that pronunciation máo (OC *mrˁu) could reflect a borrowing from Rgyalrongic language after loss of final *, thus making it cognate to Rgyalrongic terms for "male yak" like Tshobdun ⁿbrúʔ, Zbu ⁿbrúʔ, Situ mbrû, Japhug qambrɯ, and Khroskyabs [script needed] (ʁbrô), which in turn are cognates to Burmese ပြောင် (praung, ‘gaur’ (← ‘yak’)), Tibetan འབྲོང ('brong, wild yak), Shixing [Term?] (HL, yak), Proto-Naish *bru (yak), Ersuic *bu "male yak", and possibly Muya [script needed] (ndʐõ⁵³, male yak) .
