Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *zə; cognate with Proto-Kukish */ca/, Mru caŋ (“to do, to make”), & Tibetan [script needed] (mdzad.pa), [script needed] (mdzod), from underlying */m-za-t/ "to do, to act", possibly also related to [script needed] (bzo, “work, labour”) (Schuessler, 2007).̈Schuessler ddisputes Löffler (1966)'s proposed connection to 乍 (OC *zraːɡs, “to do, work, make”) due to phonological difficulties.
Unger (1984) posits a possible relationship with Tibetan [script needed] (rdzi.po, “herdsman”)
