Verb

IPA: /lò/ Forms: lui [romanization]
Etymology: Inherited from Old Burmese လိဝ် (liw) or Old Burmese လိုဝ် (luiw); though the word appears to be Sino-Tibetan, cognates outside of Lolo-Burmese are uncertain. STEDT refrains from assigning etymology (lo²² "want / need"), and Luce compares Old Chinese 要 (OC *qew, *qews, “to want, wish, ask”), based on an older reconstructed pronunciation *yog, though this is now outdated. A newer theory by Schuessler compares the Burmese to Old Chinese 欲 (OC *loɡ, “desire”).
