Sino-Tibetan etymology :

Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *jăŋ

Meaning: luck, happiness

Chinese: 祥 *lhaŋ happy omen, auspicious, felicitous; lucky day.

Tibetan: g-jaŋ happiness, blessing.

Comments: Bod. 95. Cf. STEDT 364-365 *yaŋ 'love, desire'. It is not quite clear whether the meaning 'copulate' attested only in Baima is archaic; if it is, the root could be ultimately = *jaŋ 'penis' q.v.
