"Snu" meaning in All languages combined

See Snu on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Naish]

Etymology: Li compares Tibetan རྔོག (rngog, “mane”) and Japhug smɤɣ (“wool”). Japhug tɤ-rme (“hair”) fits more semantically closely and has a compatible initial but Li is uncomfortable with the vowel correspondence. Lidz and STEDT derive this word from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-murl.
