Etymology
Pictogram (象形) – alternative interpretation, either an arm bending out from the side of the body, or a wooden plough. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-ra (“strength; to win; classifier for people”) + *-k (STEDT; Schuessler, 2007). Cognate with Burmese အား (a:, “strength; force”); Proto-Loloish *ra² (“strength”), whence Nuosu ꊋ (we); Panyi Bai [script needed] (ɣɯ̱⁴², “strength”); Central Bai hhep (“strength”). A causative derivative is 飭 (OC rhək) (Schuessler, 2007). Schuessler (2007) also suggests an etymological connection with 來 (OC *m·rɯːɡ, “to come”).
