Etymology

Ideogrammic compound (會意 /会意): 囗 (“enclosure; city wall”) + 卪 (“kneeling person”). The bottom part of the radical is unrelated to 巴 and the top component is most likely unrelated to the original version of 丁. Possibly Sino-Tibetan. Schuessler (2007) proposes two possible etymologies: * From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *Ɂip (“shelter”), whence also 葺 (OC *ʔsib, *sʰib, *zib, “thatch”). Said root is apparently allofamic with Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-y(i/u)p (“to sleep”), whence Burmese အိပ် (ip, “to sleep”) (STEDT). * Related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k-jim ~ k-jum (“house”), whence Burmese အိမ် (im), Tibetan ཁྱིམ (khyim).
