Etymology
Unclear. Several etymologies have been proposed:
- Wang (1982) relates this to 背 (OC *pɯːɡs, “back”).
- Schuessler (2007) suggests a possible relationship with Tibeto-Burman words such as Chepang मायः (mayʔ, “meat”), Bodo (India) [script needed] (mɤiʔ, “deer”), although the vowel correspondences would be irregular.
