Etymology
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *njin): phonetic 人 (OC *njin) + semantic 二. From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s/k-niŋ (“heart; brain; mind”) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT). Cognate with Tangkhul Naga ning (“mind”), Manipuri ꯄꯨꯛꯅꯤꯡ (pukning, “heart; mind”), Kinnauri [script needed] (stiŋ, “heart”), Garo taning (“brain”), Ngochang Achang nhaiqlom (“heart”), Bisu นืงบา (nɨŋba, “heart”), Burmese အနှစ် (a.hnac, “kernel”). Possibly related to Tibetan ཉིང (nying, “pith, essence”) (Schuessler, 2007). For a parallel semantic development, compare Tibetan སྙིང་རྗེ (snying rje, “compassion; kindness; mercy”), from Tibetan སྙིང (snying, “heart; mind”).
