Etymology
From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *maːk (“son-in-law, genitals”). Compare Burmese သမက် (sa.mak), Jingpho /da-maʔ/, as well as S'gaw Karen မာ် (mạ), Lepcha ᰕᰤᰩᰭ (myók); also compare Tibetan མག་པ (mag pa, “son-in-law, groom”), Dzongkha རྨགཔ (rmagp, “husband, groom”), Mizo mâkpa (“son-in-law”). Benedict (1979) also compares this to 牡 (OC *mɯwʔ, “male”), though this is disputed. (STEDT)
