"nyuj" meaning in All languages combined

See nyuj on Wiktionary

Noun [White Hmong]

IPA: /ɲu˥˧/ Forms: tus [classifier]
Etymology: From Proto-Hmong-Mien *ŋiuŋ (“water buffalo, cow”), borrowed from Old Chinese 牛 (OC *ŋʷɯ, “cow”), albeit with an unexpected nasalization of the ending consonant in the Hmong-Mien form. The White Hmong form's loss of the nasal may be due to phonetic influence from modern Mandarin 牛 (niú). Cognate with Iu Mien ngongh.
