Particularly: “Diverse array of senses all grouped together by MED, though whether they are all etymologically connected is unclear. Not given etymology by STEDT (tuiṅ "post (of house)"), and words with -uing finals are not mentioned by Luce 1981, probably because, per Hill 2019, they are likely to be Mon loanwords.”
