Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *naːl, *naːlʔ, *naːls) : phonetic 冄 (OC *njam, *njamʔ) + semantic 邑 (“city”).

Originally the name of a state; later borrowed for a distal demonstrative.

Etymology 1

Cognate with 若 (OC *njaɡ, “that”), 爾 (MC ȵiᴇ^X, “that”) (Norman, 1988). Also compare (Schuessler, 2007):

Proto-Mon-Khmer *nɔʔ ~ *nɔh (“this”), whence Khmer នោះ (nuh, “that”), Vietnamese nọ (“this”);
Khmu [script needed] (naa, “she”);
Proto-Tai *najᶜ (“this”), whence Thai นี้ (níi, “this”), Zhuang neix (“this”).
