## White Hmong
### Etymology

From Proto-Hmong-Mien *ʔəjH (“to do, work”).
* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Possiblity of a Sinitic borrowing for the Proto-HM term? Mandarin 做 (zuò, “to do, perform”) or Mandarin 作 (“id”) seem like good candidates. The correspondence of the *ʔs in the Old Chinese terms with the ʔ in the HM proto-form would have to be established, as well as the collapsing of gs to H.”

### Verb

ua
* to do

* to proceed
* to become
