Etymology [ edit ] Uncertain. Schuessler (2007) proposes that this is an old areal etymon. Compare Tibetan [script needed] ( zhe-sa , “ respect, honor, deference ” ) , [script needed] ( rje-bo , “ lord, nobleman ” ) , [script needed] ( rjed , “ to honor; reverence ” ) ; Mru [script needed] ( ri , “ ritual ” ) is possibly borrowed from Austroasiatic (cf. Mon [script needed] ( rèh seh , “ to respect, to revere ” ) ; Thin Khmu [script needed] ( rɛh , “ to lift up ” ) ; both from Proto-Mon-Khmer *reh ( “ to raise up, to exalt ” ) ).
