"အကြေး" meaning in Burmese

See အကြေး in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʔət͡ɕé/ Forms: a.kre: [romanization]
Etymology: From အ- (a.-, “nominal prefix”) + ကြေး (kre:, “skin, scales”), the latter "skin" element only surviving in this term. STEDT derives the second syllable from Proto-Lolo-Burmese *m-k-rəj¹ (“skin, outer covering”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m/s-k-rəj (“skin”), whence also Tibetan སྐྱི (skyi, “outer skin”), and perhaps archaic Old Chinese 介 (OC *kreːds, “scale (of animals); shell”). Note, however, much stronger phonetic correspondence with 肌 (OC *kril, “muscle; skin”), particularly with the Baxter-Sagart reconstruction.
