Etymology

In Meitei language, "sanggāi" (Meitei: ꯁꯡꯒꯥꯏ, romanized: /səŋ.gai/) means residence or home, used in formal context.[3] The term "sangāi" (Meitei: ꯁꯉꯥꯏ, romanized: /sə.ŋai/) is the Meitei name of the brow-antlered deer, scientifically known as Cervus eldi eldi.[4] The Meitei term "yumpham" (Meitei: ꯌꯨꯝꯐꯝ, romanized: /yúm.pʰəm/) literally means "the place where a house is built". Morphologically, "yum‑pham" can be divided into two root words, "yum" (Meitei: ꯌꯨꯝ, romanized: /yúm/) and "pham" (Meitei: ꯐꯝ, romanized: /pʰəm/), meaning "house" and "place" respectively.[5]
