Chinese[edit]

simp. and trad.
 啱
alternative forms 恰

Etymology[edit]

Probably a Kra-Dai substrate word (Li, 1990). Compare Zhuang ngamq (“just; exactly; only”), Hlai ngamx (“suitable”), Thai งาม (ngaam, “beautiful”), Vietnamese ngám (“just right”).

Alternatively, some postulate that this is derived from 恰 (hap1, “just; coincidentally; suitable”) or 諳 (am1, “to know; familiar with”).

Pronunciation[edit]

Note: ngam - from Cantonese.
