Etymology 1
[edit]Not given etymology by STEDT (lim "twist; be deceitful"), while Luce compares Old Chinese 緝 (OC *sʰib, “to sew, twist”), Tibetan སྒྲིམ (sgrim, “to twist together”);[1] the Old Chinese reconstruction makes the Chinese comparison phonetically doubtful. Compare also Mon လီ (“to lie”); the Burmese may have been borrowed from the Mon, in this case.
