English meaning : the eldest (of siblings)
Russian meaning[s]: 1) старший сын; старший; старшинство; 2) первый; начало; 3) грубый, неотесанный; 4) Мэнцзы (философский трактат IV в. до н. э.); 5) Мэн (фамилия)
Comments: Related to 兄 *smraŋ 'elder brother' q. v. In later epochs the word is sometimes used with the meaning 'rough, rude; strong, robust' (thus also in Viet.) - which may actually reflect a contamination with (or a derivation from) 猛 *mrāŋʔ q.v. For *m cf. Xiamen biŋ6, Chaozhou meŋ4, Fuzhou maiŋ6.
