This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “STEDT doesn't give further etymology (yañ "tame, civilized; graceful"). Bears resemblance to Sinitic terms like Old Chinese婉 (OC *qonʔ, “graceful, tactful”), 雅 (OC *ŋraːʔ, “elegant, graceful”), 豔 (OC *lams, “gorgeous, romantic”) (there may be more and better comparanda as well). Luce's connection with 馴 (OC *sɢljun, “docile, tame”) is phonetically untenable.[2]
The "get used to" sense is probably a semantic shift from the "tame" sense.”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “According to MED, related to အလျဉ်(a.lyany, “progression, flow, continuity”), with both terms bearing resemblance to Old Chinese浪 (OC *raːŋ, *raːŋs, “wave”).”
