→ Mon: ပံၚ်မဳ

→ Mon: ပံၚ်မဳ

(clothing) trousers, pants (garment covering the body from the waist downwards)


ထဘီ

From Middle Burmese ထဖီ (hta.hpi).
The first component, ထ (hta.), is a fossil prefix, as can be seen in Burmese ထရံ (hta.ram, “wall”). U Kosalla theorized that it may have come from the obsolete verb ထာ (hta, “to bar, to prevent”), as in the sentence လွားလွားကောင်းကင်၊ ငါပျံချင်လျက်၊ ရှင်တို့အများ၊ မြစ်ထာတားခဲ့ (lwa:lwa:kaung:kang| nga-pyamhkyanglyak| hrangtui.a.mya:| mrachtata:hkai., “Although I want to fly up to the sky, my disciples prevented me from doing so”).
The second component, ဖီ (hpi), means "lower fringe, branch, side, rear" as in အဖီ (a.hpi, “offshoot, penthouse, annex”), "to obtrude, extend, project", or "to prevent, obstruct", as in လိုက်ကြရာတွင် မြစ်ထာဖီတား မနိုင်ငြားမူ (luikkra.ra-twang mrachtahpita: ma.nuingngra:mu, “They followed but cannot stop him”). Hence, U Kosalla defined it as a "garment that is a branch of the main attire and prevents the lower part from nakedness". The nasalized pronunciation in the modern form of the second component, ဘီ (bhi), is not an uncommon colloquial sound change, as can be seen in ဘီး (bhi:).

(clothing) A kind of Burmese sarong for women: htamein


အင်္ကျီ

Borrowed from Hindi अंगिया (aṅgiyā, “angiya, bodice”).

bor+

(clothing) general term for upper garment such as shirt, jacket, coat, etc.


နတ်

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *na-(n/t) (“sick; evil spirit”); cognate with Jingpho nat (“spirit, ancestral spirit”). Doublet of နာ (na, “hurt; sick”) (STEDT).
Alternatively, MED considers the word as borrowed from Pali nātha (“protector”).

af

(Buddhism) monastery (place of residence for members of a religious community)


ပတ်

Borrowed from Pali paṭaha, from Sanskrit पटह (paṭaha, “kettledrum, war drum”).


ဝါး

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *wa² (“bamboo”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r/g/s-pʷa (“bamboo”). Cognate with Lhao Vo vo: and Old Chinese 笆 (OC *praː, *braːʔ, “thorny bamboo; bamboo basketry; bamboo fence”) (STEDT).
The "clappers" and "music timing" senses are grouped with the "bamboo" sense by MED, perhaps because ancient Burmese clappers were made of bamboo, and used to keep time in music.

ပဉ္စင်း • (panycang:) (classifier ပါး or ဦး)

Perhaps from Pali pañcaṅga (“consisting of five things”), in the sense that a fully ordained monk:
* Is one who has abandoned the five factors (Pali pañcaṅgavippahīna) of: lust, ill will, stiffness and torpor, agitation and worry, and uncertainty, and
* Is one who is complete in the five factors (Pali pañcaṅgasamannāgata) of: the aggregate of virtue, concentration, wisdom, liberation, and knowledge/vision of one beyond training.


ပုဆိုး

pu.hcui: (romanization)
ထည် (classifier)

Treated as atomic by MED, and not mentioned by STEDT. Component-wise, analyzable as ပု (pu., “uncertain prefix”) + ဆိုး (hcui:, “to dye, stain (dyed cloth)”).
Regarding the identity of the first component, ပု (pu.) is often a shortened form of ပိုး (pui:, “worm, silk”) as in ပုရွက် (pu.rwak) and ပုစဉ်း (pu.cany:). The 'silk' sense might be reflected better in the Old Burmese coordinate term ပုခြည် (pu.hkrany, “a type of tunic or fabric worn during the Bagan period”). Otherwise, it may have been an anatomical indicator; as in ပုဆစ် (pu.hcac, “knee”).
Some traditional Burmologists derive the second component from ဆီး (hci:, “to wear, to bar”) so as to match the semantic development of ထဘီ (hta.bhi); however, this is unlikely.
