Not given etymology by STEDT (lim "twist; be deceitful"), while Luce compares Old Chinese緝 (OC *sʰib, “to sew, twist”), Tibetanསྒྲིམ(sgrim, “to twist together”);[1] the Old Chinese reconstruction makes the Chinese comparison phonetically doubtful. Compare also Monလီ(“to lie”); the Burmese may have been borrowed from the Mon, in this case.
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (lim "kind of tree, the Terminalia bialata"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981.”
