Etymology 2

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-nam¹ (“side, rib”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-nam (“rib”). Cognate with Tangut [script needed] (now, “rib”) (STEDT); within Sinitic, Luce compares Old Chinese 脅 (OC *hlams, *hlab, “flank, ribs; to threaten”),[1] which doesn't particularly resemble the Tibeto-Burman in phonetics. Note, however, 腩 (OC *nuːmʔ, “belly flesh, sirloin”) (whether the "dip in condiments" sense is related is unclear), particularly as the "sirloin" sense is primarily dialectal (though it does occur in Standard Chinese).
