Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /nàɴ/
  • Romanization: MLCTS: nam • ALA-LC: naṃ • BGN/PCGN: nan • Okell: nañ

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m/s-nam (“to smell”); compare အနံ့ (a.nam., “odor”), and see Old Chinese 聞 (OC *mɯn, *mɯns, “to smell; to listen”) for more (STEDT).

Verb

နံ • (nam)

  1. to give off an offensive smell
Derived terms

Etymology 2

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-nam¹ (“side, rib”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-nam (“rib”). Cognate with Tangut (now, “rib”) (STEDT); within Sinitic, Luce compares Old Chinese 脅 (OC *hlams, *hlab, “flank, ribs; to threaten”),[1] which doesn't particularly resemble the Tibeto-Burman in phonetics. Note, however, 腩 (OC *nuːmʔ, “belly flesh, sirloin”) (whether the "dip in condiments" sense is related is unclear), particularly as the "sirloin" sense is primarily dialectal (though it does occur in Standard Chinese).

Noun

နံ • (nam)

  1. flank
  2. rib

Etymology 3

Borrowed from Pali nāma (“name; immaterial factors such as perception”).
