===Etymology===
Probably a dialectal form of {{och-l|女|id=1|woman; female}} ({{zh-ref|Schuessler, 2007}}).

Alternatively, {{zh-ref|Li (1990)}} proposed that this may be a {{bor|zh|tai|-}} substrate loan, related to {{cog|za|nax||younger maternal uncle or aunt}}, {{cog|th|น้า}} (which go back to {{cog|tai-pro|*naːꟲ||mother's younger sibling}}).
