တောင်

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *dwaŋ (“cubit”) (STEDT: ʔə toŋ "cubit"), a semantic extension of Proto-Tibeto-Burman *dwaŋ (“wing, hand”) (whence the first syllable of တောင်ပံ (taungpam, “wing”)). Cognate with Mizo tong (“cubit”).

cog

ပိတ် နှစ်တောင်


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.

inh

to add on, attach, append, affix (something to make something else stronger, complete, fuller, etc.)


ကိုက်

my-verb

ကိုက် • (kuik)

According to STEDT, from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *kuːk ~ *kawk (“to shear, strip, pare”), which may be related to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s/r-kawk ~ *s/r-kwak (“outer covering, skin, bark, rind”), for which see ခေါက် (hkauk, “tree bark”). Close cognates from the former root include Garo [script needed] (kik, “to strip”) (STEDT).
That said, as a word with a final -uik, a borrowing from Mon is also possible; compare Mon သ္ကိတ်.

cog

to come up to (expectations, etc.), agree, equal, correspond

နှမ်း
