Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声, OC *naːʔ, *naːs) : semantic 心 (“heart”) + phonetic 奴 (OC *naː, “slave”) – angry.

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan, perhaps from the same word family as 努 (OC *naːʔ, “effort”). Compare Proto-Kuki-Chin *nuar (“to sulk; to agitate”), whence e.g. Mizo nàwrh (“to sulk; to be displeased”) (Schuessler 2007).
