Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (“to freeze; snow”) (provisionally reconstructed) (STEDT).

Insides Sinitic, 雱 (OC *pʰˁaŋ) is cognate with 霙 (OC *ʔraŋ) "sleet, snowflake", 冰 (OC *p.rəŋ) & 凌 (OC *[r]əŋ ~ p.rəŋ) (both meaning "ice"), & possibly also 凝 (OC [ŋ](r)əŋ) "to congeal" (STEDT; Baxter and Sagart, 2014);

Outsides Sinitic, cognate with Proto-Tani *pam (“snow”), Japhug jpɣom (“to freeze”), tɤjpɣom (“ice”) (STEDT; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019).
