"နဖူး" meaning in Burmese

See နဖူး in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /nəpʰú/ Forms: na.hpu: [romanization]
Etymology: The first component, န (na.), is probably from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ŋa-k (“forehead; cockscomb”), and cognate with Old Chinese 額 (OC *ŋɡraːɡ, “forehead”) (STEDT). The second component, ဖူး (hpu:), is from Proto-Lolo-Burmese *pu² (“forehead”), and cognate with Axi [script needed] (ni⁵⁵ phu²², “forehead”) (STEDT). It appears possible that the second component is a semantic extension of ဖူး (hpu:, “bud; swelling”), as foreheads are known to be large and bulgy.
