baa! (the bleating of a sheep)

Etymology 2

From a Kam–Tai word for “bear” (Schuessler, 2007 apud Yan, 1983); compare Proto-Tai *ʰmwɯjᴬ (“bear”) (> Thai หมี (mǐi), Zhuang mui). The Records of the Grand Historian records that this was the family name (姓) of the ruling family of the state of Chu (楚), while 熊 (OC *ɢʷlɯm, “bear”) was the clan name (氏).
