*ŋeds
*ŋʷjed
*sŋed
*sŋed
*ŋjed
*ŋeːd

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋjed) : phonetic  (OC *ŋeds) + semantic  (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 (OC *ŋʷjed, “to burn; to toast”) and (OC *njod, “hot”).
