English meaning : to mourn; burial

Russian meaning[s]: траур; носить траур; траурный; похороны; [sàng] умереть, погибнуть; лишиться; терять(ся)

Comments: Also read *sāŋ-s, MC sầŋ (FQ 蘇浪), Mand. sàŋ 'to lose, disappear, perish, ruin'. A reconstruction *snhāŋ (suggested by hsieh-sheng) is not excluded - in that case, however, we have to suppose an irregular (dialectal) development in MC (a normal reflex would be MC *thâŋ).
