Shuowen gloss: 天地之性最貴者也. 此籀文.象臂脛之形.凡人之屬皆從人. [365]
Comments: For initial *n- cf. Min forms: Xiamen laŋ2, Chaozhou naŋ2, Fuzhou nöüŋ2, Jianou nɛiŋ2. The closest external parallel is probably Tib. ńen, gnen 'a relative' - obviously derived from ńe 'near' (= OC 邇 *nejʔ q.v.). Thus OC *nin is an old -n-derivate < *nej-n.
