Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声 , OC *krɯm, *krɯms ): phonetic 林 ( OC *ɡ·rɯm ) + semantic 示 ( “ altar ” ) .
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *krim ( “ custom, prohibition ” ) . Compare Tibetan ཁྲིམས ( khrims , “ law, rule; habit ” ) , Mizo hrem ( “ to punish ” ) and Japhug khrɯm ( “ punishment ” ) , although the latter may be borrowed from Tibetan (Jacques, 2015 ; Jacques, 2004: 89) .
Schessler (2007) also adds Burmese ခြိမ်း ( hkrim: , “ to threaten ” ) to the list of the possible cognates, however this word likely belongs to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-krim ( “ to threaten ” ) .
