Burmese
Etymology
From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *(s-)nak ~ naŋ² (“to step on, tread”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-nak ~ *naŋ (“to step on”); cognate with Lahu (nâʔ, “to step on”) (STEDT). Luce additionally adduces Old Chinese 蹂 (OC *mju, *mjuʔ, *mjus, “to trample, ruin”) as a cognate (though recent Old Chinese reconstructions do not support a link).[1]
