Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *nup ~ nip . Cognate with Tibetan ནུབ ( nub , “ to fall (gradually), sink, to set; to decay, to decline ” ) and Burmese နိပ် ( nip , “ to decline (e.g. price); to be suppressed, to settle, to be quelled ” ) .
Chinese characters belonging to the same word family include:
納 (OC *nuːb , “to make enter”)
內 (OC *nuːbs , “inside”)
軜 (OC *nuːb , “reins on the inside of the horse”)
妠 (OC *nuːms, *nuːb, *rnoːd , “to marry (a girl)”)
and potentially Cantonese 擸 (laap3 , “to bring together, to collect”)
The regular Mandarin pronunciation as predicted from Middle Chinese is rì . The irregular sound change is for taboo reasons - to avoid homophony with its derived vulgar meaning "to enter > to have sexual intercourse", nowadays represented by 日 (rì ).
