| This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Sure looks like another borrowing from 網 (MC mjangX) (whence võng, màng, mạng), although the tonal register here is upper, not (the expected) lower. If so, that's four free nouns from a single etymon, although from different periods/specific donors (typical late MC literary reading for võng, Old Chinese or early MC for mạng, etc.)” |
