| 爇 | *ŋʷjed |
| 褻 | *sŋed |
| 暬 | *sŋed |
| 熱 | *ŋjed |
| 槷 | *ŋeːd |
Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋjed) : phonetic 埶 (OC *ŋeds) + semantic 灬 (“fire”).
Etymology
Schuessler (2007) considers this a *-t derivation of Proto-Sino-Tibetan *nwe (“warm”) (with initial *n- ~ ŋ- vacillation), whence also Burmese နွေး (nwe:, “warm; lukewarm”) and နွှေး (hnwe:, “to warm something; to revise”).
Often considered to be related to 爇 (OC *ŋʷjed, “to burn; to toast”) and 焫 (OC *njod, “hot”).
