"ဇက်" meaning in Burmese

See ဇက် in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /zɛʔ/ Forms: jak [romanization]
Etymology: Ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *hljak (“iron, iron instrument”). MED and STEDT do not list the "horse bit" sense as a primary sense, and instead list "nape of the neck" as a sense, which STEDT tentatively derives from a Proto-Tibeto-Burman *tsjak (“nape of neck”) (whence perhaps Yakkha [script needed] (guːʔ cuk, “nape of neck”)). It is unclear whether this is a legitimate sense for the term, as all compound words listed below are better interpreted as invoking the "horse bit" sense than the "nape" sense. Etymology templates: {{inh|my|sit-pro|*hljak|t=iron, iron instrument}} Proto-Sino-Tibetan *hljak (“iron, iron instrument”), {{cog|tbq-pro|*tsjak|t=nape of neck}} Proto-Tibeto-Burman *tsjak (“nape of neck”), {{cog|ybh|t=nape of neck|tr=guːʔ cuk}} Yakkha [script needed] (guːʔ cuk, “nape of neck”) Head templates: {{my-noun}} ဇက် • (jak)
