Tibetan གྲོད་པ (grod pa, “first stomach”)

Tibetan བརྒྱུད (brgyud, “to transmit; descendants”)


သမီး

particle suffixed to a noun to denote a kindred relation not founded on blood


တူ

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *m-(t/d)u (“nephew, descendant”). Cognate with Mizo tu (“nephew”), as well as Old Chinese 出 (OC *kʰljuds, *kʰljud) in the obscure sense of "nephew, descendant" as seen in the Erya (STEDT).


အဖေ

အ- (a.-, “nominal prefix”) + ဖေ (hpe, “term to refer to a male”).

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *b/m-laŋ, Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b/m-laŋ (“penis; male; husband”). Cognate with the second syllable of Jingpho [script needed] (ne³¹ laŋ³³, “penis”), Old Chinese 犅 (OC *klaːŋ, “bull, stud”); older comparisons to 郎 (OC *raːŋ, “husband, young man”) are improbable (see there for more) (STEDT).
The "complete" sense is grouped etymologically with the "husband" sense by MED, and isn't mentioned by STEDT or Luce 1981.

အဘိုး

အဖိုး အဖိုး#Burmese


ခင်ပွန်း

The first syllable, ခင် (hkang), is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kaŋ (“father, grandfather; honorific term for males”), whence perhaps Old Chinese 公 (OC *kloːŋ, “male; duke”), and is also found in ခင်ဗျား (hkangbya:, “you (polite, used by males)”). The second syllable, ပွန်း (pwan:), is from Proto-Lolo-Burmese *bwa (“grandmother”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pʷa-n ~ *bʷa-n (“idem”), whence ဘွား (bhwa:, “grandmother”) and Old Chinese 婆 (OC *baːl, “old woman; grandmother”) (STEDT).
