"ဂူ" meaning in Burmese

See ဂူ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡù/ Forms: gu [romanization]
Etymology: According to MED, borrowed from Pali guhā. However, STEDT considers this to be a native term inherited from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kwar (“hole, orifice, innards”), whence Mizo [Term?] (kua, “hole”), Old Chinese 窾 (OC *kʰloːnʔ, “hole, hollow”). Note also similarities to 窟 (OC *kʰluːd, “cave”).
