Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-hjwəj-t (blood) (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007).

Baxter and Sagart (2014) reconstruct the Old Chinese as *m̥ˤik to account for word-family connections with (OC *C.mˤ<r>k, “vein”), (OC *mˤi, “defiled blood”) as well as its use as a phonetic component in (OC *m̥(r)ik, “still; quiet”), which is in the same word family as (OC *mi, “quiet; silent”) (Sagart, 1999b; Baxter and Sagart, 2017). Sagart (1999b) argues that this word is not genetically related to the Tibeto-Burman form with *s-hjw-, but that this word has been borrowed into Tibeto-Burman.
