မြေ

Inherited from Old Burmese မ္လိယ် (mliy), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mlij, *m-l(e/ə)j (“earth, country, ground, mud, soil”). Cognate with Akha [script needed] (mí, “earth”), Old Chinese 地 (OC *l'els, “ground, earth”) (STEDT, Hill 2019). The traditional comparison with Old Chinese 室 (OC *hliɡ, “room, dwelling”) is phonetically unconvincing, based on Old Chinese reconstructions.

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *say² (“sand”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(s/z)a-j (“earth, sand, soil”). Compare Old Chinese 沙 (OC *sraːl, *sraːls, “sand”).
