Etymology 1

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT. Luce gives Old Chinese 禦 (OC *ŋaʔ, *ŋas, “to withstand, defend”) as a cognate;[1] this seems less feasible in light of later reconstructions of the Old Chinese, as well as the semantics being somewhat removed. Note also similarities to 廟 (OC *mrews, “temple”) and White Hmong tsev (“house”).”
