"ဇာဂနာ" meaning in All languages combined

See ဇာဂနာ on Wiktionary

Noun [Burmese]

IPA: /zàɡənà/ Forms: jaga.na [romanization], ဇာဂဏာ [alternative]
Etymology: Unclear. According to MED, borrowed from a Hindi झागना (jhāgnā), though the existence of such a word appears apocryphal. Judson implies instead a spelling of जागणा (jāgṇā), though such a word does not seem to exist either. The closest-sounding attested word, जागना (jāgnā, “to wake up”), is semantically very distant.
