## Chinese
### Glyph origin

| | Old Chinese |
| 某 | *mɯʔ |
| 謀 | *mɯ |
| 媒 | *mɯː |
| 煤 | *mɯː |
| 腜 | *mɯː |
| 禖 | *mɯː |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *mɯː): semantic 火 (“fire”) + phonetic 某 (OC *mɯʔ).

### Etymology

* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Related to 火, PST *mej?”
Sino-Tibetan. Schuessler (2007) proposes two possibilities:
* Cognate with Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-mu² (“soot; acrid (smoke)”). If related, a merger of Minimal Old Chinese *ə with *o must have occurred.
* Cognate with Mizo mang (maŋᴿ), man (manᴸ, “sooty”), Mizo mang (maŋᴴ, “partially burnt wood”).
文 (OC *mɯn) may be a derivation with -n nominal suffix. 黑 (OC *hmlɯːɡ, “black”) may be an allofam. Unrelated to 晦 (OC *hmɯːs, “dark”) according to Schuessler (2007).
