Etymology
Schuessler (2007) considers this a *-t derivation of Proto-Sino-Tibetan *nwe (“warm”), whence also Burmese နွေး (nwe:, “warm; lukewarm”), နွှေး (hnwe:, “to warm something; to revise”). However, Schuessler (2024) notes many cases where medial *-w- is deleted after non-velar initials and before *e and seems to relegate the above etymology to 熱 (OC *ŋjed, “hot”) instead; he instead compares 爇 (OC *n(i)ot) to Tibetan རྔོད (rngod, “to fry; to roast”), though this is not without problems either.
Either way, 熱 (OC *ŋjed, “hot”) may still be related (Karlgren, 1956).
