တိုင်ပင်
Burmese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]တိုင် (tuing, “to inform”) + ပင် (pang, “to be weighed down”). However, Luce apparently takes the semantic identity of ပင် (pang) as separate from the "heavy" sense, and compares it with Old Chinese 并 (OC *peŋ, *peŋs) (represented in modern times by 並 (OC *beːŋʔ, “to be side by side”) or 併 (OC *breːŋʔ, *breːŋs, *peŋʔ, *peŋs, *beːŋʔ, “to combine”)).[1]
