Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Wide range of meanings, all grouped together by MED. Many of these seem to be etymologically separate, though due to the very simple nature of the syllable, further etymologies are rendered more difficult to trace back. Not given etymology by STEDT (i "this", "cloyed with food, savory food", "be healthy", "creak, as cart-wheel"). For the "this" sense, Luce gives Old Chinese 伊 (OC *qlil, “this”) as a cognate (see also the literary variant ဤ (i)),[1] while adducing no cognates for the "rich, cloyed" sense.[2]”
