From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *g-raːl ~ *g-ran ~ *ray (“enemy, fight, quarrel, strife, sword, war”). Cognate with Mizo [Term?] (ráal, “enemy, the foe (in warfare)”), Tibetan [script needed] (ḥgran-pa, “to fight, contend with”), རལ་གྲི (ral gri, “sword, dagger”). Said Tibeto-Burman root is likely related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-gra (“stranger, enemy”), whence Tibetan དགྲ (dgra, “enemy”) and Old Chinese 旅 (OC *ɡ·raʔ, “guest, stranger, traveler; to travel, lodge”) (STEDT).
