#1283 PTB *m-yaŋ PENIS / TESTICLE / STINGER (of bee) |
This etymon has so far been uncovered almost exclusively in the NE Indian Areal Group, where it is widely attested. The Lailenpi and Lotha forms point to a prototype with nasal prefix, *N‑yaŋ. Many of the daughter languages have developed initial z‑ in this etymon. In several languages, the meaning of this word extends to ‘stinger of bee’, which perhaps is the original meaning. For the stinging semantics, cf. vulgar English prick.
An excellent extra-NE Indian candidate for cognacy is Jingpho rāŋ ‘to be concupiscent; to be driven by sexual desires; to burn with lust’ (Hanson 1906/1954:564), recorded as ʒaŋ³³ in Dai, et al. 1983:684, where it is glossed 性冲动 ‘sexual impulse’. See the compound ne³¹ ʒaŋ³³ ‘sexually potent male’, under #545 PTB *m‑ney PENIS, above.
