The following are not (yet) sense-disambiguated
Etymology number: 2

Pronoun

IPA: [ĩmːo̞] Forms: 什麼 [canonical] (ruby: 什(いん), 麼(も)), inmo [romanization]
Etymology: From spoken Middle Chinese 恁麼／恁么 (nyim^X muɑ, “what?”, archaic). The spelling shifted to include the Chinese synonym 什麼／什么 (modern Mandarin reading of shénme), while keeping the inmo reading for 恁麼／恁么, instead of the expected *shūma reading for 什麼. Imported into Japanese by Zen monks who had studied in China. Generally restricted to use by Zen practitioners.
