Etymology 1

From Proto-Hmong-Mien *-hri̯əŋ (“high, tall”),[1] probably borrowed from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-raŋ (“high, long”), whence Chinese 陵 (líng, “mound, hill”) and Burmese မြင့် (mrang., “high, tall”).[2]

Adjective

siab

  1. high, tall

Noun

siab

  1. height

Etymology 2

From Proto-Hmong-Mien *-hri̯ən (“liver”); possibly related to Middle Chinese 肝 (MC kan, “liver”).[2] Note the difference in coda consonant between this and Etymology 1.[1]

siab (classifier: nplooj)

  1. (anatomy) liver

Noun

siab (classifier: lub)

  1. (figuratively) the liver regarded as the seat of the affections and emotions (like the heart in English)
