The "send" sense is equated with the "thin" sense by MED, though STEDT apparently separates the two and gives no etymology for "send" (pâ "send ( by hand or person )").

ပါး

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ba² (“cheek”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *m/s-ba (“cheek, jaw, chin”). Cognate with Akha [script needed] (bà, “cheek”) (STEDT).

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-na-s (“to stay, rest, dwell, be, live, alight, perch”) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan གནས (gnas, “to live, reside”), as well as possibly Old Chinese 棲 (OC *siːl, “to perch, roost, stay”).

ပေါင်

The "thigh" sense is from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *(p/b)waŋ (“hips, buttocks, tail, anus”), and cognate with Tibetan ཕོངས (phongs, “buttock”) (STEDT). Luce adduces no further possible cognates for the "thigh" sense.
The "add, attach" and "pawn, mortgage" senses are linked with the "thigh" sense by MED (perhaps as "thighs" are an "attachment" to the body), but apparently separated by STEDT and given no etymology (poŋ "superadd lengthwise; attach to the side of", "pawn, mortgage"). Luce combines the "add" and "pawn" meanings together etymologically (perhaps via semantic association of "putting side-by-side (attaching)" with "pawning items that are juxtaposed"), though adduces no cognates.


ဒူးခေါင်း

ဒူး (du:, “knee”) + ခေါင်း (hkaung:, “head”)


ဗိုက်

my-noun

ဗိုက် • (buik)

According to STEDT, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-puːk (“belly; vitals; hollow object; cave”), whence Old Chinese 腹 (OC *puɡ, “belly, abdomen”). However, the -uik final suggests a borrowing from Mon; as noted on the page for the Chinese term, similar words exist in Mon-Khmer, suggesting an areal relation or a very deep inheritance past the point of reconstructability.


နှလုံး

Likely from an earlier unattested form *နှစ်လုံး (*hnaclum:), from the same နှစ် (hnac) found in အနှစ် (a.hnac, “substance, yolk”) (ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s/k-nik (“heart, mind”)), + လုံး (lum:, “round object”) (STEDT: hnə lûm ( < hnac-lûm) "heart").


ပခုံး

Compound from *ပ (*pa.) (from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ba (“to carry (on back); shoulder”) or *p(r)ak ~ r-pak (“shoulder”), likely ပိုး (pui:, “to carry on back”)) and ခုံး (hkum:, “arched, convex”).


ဘီး

Derived by STEDT from Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-gʷəy² (“comb”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *ʔ-gʷəy-s (“comb (for hair)”), and compared with Mizo [Term?] (khuih, “comb”). Note also more overt similarities to Old Chinese 篦 (OC *piː, *bis, “fine-tooth comb”).

inh

ဘီး

The closest possible cognate is Lhao Vo pyi" (“wheel-belt”).

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *pʷam (“belly, stomach, waist”), which appears to be related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-bʷam ~ s-bʷap (“to swell; swollen, fat, thick; rounded part, mountain, hill”) (STEDT). Cognate with Jingpho [script needed] (pù-hpam, “stomach”), as well as, according to Luce, Old Chinese 範 (OC *bomʔ, “mold; pattern”); a more distant cognate from *s-bʷa(m/p) is Old Chinese 胖 (OC *pʰaːns, “fat (adjective)”).

လည်ချောင်း

According to MED, from လည် (lany, “neck”) + ချောင်း (hkyaung:, “cough”), though the second component is likely better-interpreted as "throat"; see there for more.

ချက်

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-kyakᴴ (“rope, cord, navel”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *kyak (“navel, umbilical cord, rope”), mainly attested in Lolo-Burmese and Qiangic; cognate with Akha [script needed] (tjaq, “rope”). The Tibeto-Burman root is possibly cognate with Old Chinese 弋 (OC *lɯɡ, “to shoot arrow (with string attached)”) and/or 繳 (OC *kleːwʔ, *kljewɢ, *ɡreːɡ, “string attached to arrow”), with the latter more phonologically likely; however, the reconstruction of the former makes a connection unlikely, and the latter's reconstruction is uncertain due to internal inconsistencies in the Middle Chinese readings (STEDT).


မျက်ခုံး

မျက်- (myak-, “pertaining to the eyes”) + အခုံး (a.hkum:, “convexity”)


ချေ

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *d-kəy (“barking deer, deer”). Cognate with Yao'an Lolopo ci (“deer”), Naxi qiq (“muntjac”), S'gaw Karen တခံ (takhee, “deer”), Jingpho chäkhji (“barking deer”).
