抆 *mɯnʔ, *mɯns
紊 *mɯns

Generally thought to be an ideogrammic compound (會意 / 会意): 木 (“tree; wood”) + 攴 (“hand holding a stick”).

However, Zhengzhang (2003) considers it to be a phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声, OC *mɯːl): semantic 木 (“wood”) + phonetic 文 (OC *mɯn), where 文 was later corrupted to 攴.

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Austroasiatic; compare Old Khmer mek (“branch; bough”) (Schuessler, 2007). Note also similarities to Burmese မဲ (mai:, “vote, ballot, lot”).
