Etymology
Either from:
- Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-gaŋ (“hill, ridge, mountain”) (STEDT), cognate with 岡 (OC *klaːŋ, “hill, crest”), 鯨 (OC *ɡraŋ, “whale”), Tibetan [script needed] (sgang), Burmese [script needed] (khaŋ, “hill, knoll”), Burmese [script needed] (khoŋ, “summit”), Lahu qhɔ³³ (“mountain”), Sulung gɹaŋ³³ (“mountain”), Proto-Tamangic *ᴬgaŋ ("hill, mountain"); or
- of Austroasiatic origin, compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *graŋ (“hill, peak”) (Schuessler, 2007), whence Mon [script needed] (krɛ̀aŋ, “peak”) and Old Khmer grāṅ (“hill on flat land”).
