This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (maiʼ "disfigured in face, as when crying"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. If it's got extra-Burmic cognates (as in Chinese and such), said hypothetical cognates are probably quite obscure and antiquated.”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (maiʼ "wanting, not full"). Luce gives Old Chinese非 (OC *pɯl, “not”) as a cognate,[1] which is outdated given that the Chinese is a "b-negative" word. This does look like it could be an m-series negative, in which case see Proto-Sino-Tibetan*ma(“no, not”) for more.”
