### Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-jaŋ ~ m-jaŋ (“large intestine”), whence Helambu Tibetan ནང་ཇུལ (nang jul, “viscera; guts; entrails”) and Chepang योङ्‌क्‍लीः (yoŋ-kliʔ, “intestine”) (STEDT).
Schuessler (2007) suggests it is also cognate with Tibetan ལོང་ཀ (long ka, “intestines; entrails; guts”).

#### Hong Kong Cantonese "penis"

    Semantic loan from English sausage.
