See r/g-na on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Sino-Tibetan]

Forms: g-na [canonical]
Etymology: * Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *r-njəɣ  (Coblin, 1986) ** Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *r/g-na (Matisoff, STEDT; LaPolla, 1987; French, 1983); *g-na (Benedict, 1972) Note that Proto-Sino-Tibetan has the same root *na for "ear" and "nose", distinguishing their meanings only with prefixes ("nose": *s-na). A parallelism exists in Chinese 聞/闻 (wén < OC *mun, "to smell; to hear"). For Chinese 耳, some modern Northern Min dialects attest the -Ø ~ -ŋ variation in the final (e.g. Jianyang /noiŋ/) as recorded in the historical rhyme book Jiyun. The Hokkien colloquial reading (if not a substrate borrowing) not only suggests an older nasal rhyme, it also appears to point to a proto-initial of *n̥ < *C.n̥. Etymology templates: {{lang|zh|耳}} 耳 Head templates: {{head|sit-pro|noun}} *g-na
  1. ear Tags: reconstruction

A parallelism exists in Chinese 聞/闻 (wén < OC *mun, \"to smell; to hear\").\nFor Chinese 耳, some modern Northern Min dialects attest the -Ø ~ -ŋ variation in the final (e.g. Jianyang /noiŋ/) as recorded in the historical rhyme book Jiyun. The Hokkien colloquial reading (if not a substrate borrowing) not only suggests an older nasal rhyme, it also appears to point to a proto-initial of *n̥ < *C.n̥.",
