Proto-Indo-Iranian edit

Etymology edit

An early borrowing from an unknown Central Asian substrate language *sengʰa ~ singʰa. Likely a Wanderwort; compare Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćárguš (not derived from this form), Tocharian A śiśäk, Tocharian B ṣecake, Chinese 狻猊 (MC swan ngej), 獅 (OC *sri), Zhang-Zhung [script needed] (saṅgo), Tibetan སེང་གེ (seng ge), Chechen цӏокъ (cʼoqʼ), among other Caucasian cognates.

A late Proto-Indo-European *sinǵʰo- is reconstructable with a cognate Old Armenian ինձ (inj).[1]

Proto-Bantu *ncímbá has a similar form to the Eurasian Wanderwort, but is likely unrelated.
