Etymology
"to plunder, to pillage"
Possibly Sino-Tibetan (Schuessler, 2007 ). Compare Mizo rawk ( “ to loot, to raid (not to kill) ” ) . STEDT provisionally sets up Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ʔ-m-(p)rawk , which is likely an allofam of Proto-Kuki-Chin *m-ru:k "to steal".
掠 (lüè ) is a graphic variant of this sense.
"sharp"
"From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(m/b)rak ( “ to cut, tear, maul, lacerate ” ) . Cognate with Burmese မြက် ( mrak , “ to cut keenly ” ) and မြ ( mra. , “ sharp ” ) , Jingpho mya ( “ torn, ragged ” ) , Dimasa ( džə brau , “ to scratch, maul, claw ” ) , Drung pra ( “ to cut (with sharp instruments) ” ) .
"to trace out; to measure (an area); to plan; plan, method; boundary, frontier"
Possible allofams are 慮 (OC *ras , “outline, sketch”) and possibly 量 (OC *raŋ, *raŋs , “to measure (v.), a measure (n.)”)
"outline, sketch, strategy, summary, brief"
Possibly same etymon as sense "to trace out, to plan". Possibly cognate with 路 (OC *ɡ·raːɡs , “road”)
"to omit, to leave out"
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium .)
