Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *taŋ¹ ~ *m-daŋ² (to think, feel an emotion); cognate with Lahu [script needed] (dɔ³, to think) (STEDT). Luce apparently compares Old Chinese (OC *rleŋ, *l'eŋs, “to manifest”), though the phonetics of the Old Chinese reconstruction make a relation uncertain.[1]

  1. to be visible or seen
