Etymology 1
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (nɔk "turbid / muddy"). Luce 1981 gives Old Chinese淖 (OC *rneːwɢs, “mud; to make turbid”) as a cognate;[1] this comparison appears to match fairly well with Zhengzhang's Old Chinese reconstruction. Bears very vague resemblance to Old Chinese濁 (OC *rdoːɡ, “muddy. turbid”), though probably not cognate with the latter.”
