Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given an etymology by STEDT (nak-phran "tomorrow"), doesn't seem to be mentioned by Luce 1981, and treated as atomic by MED. Possibly a compound of နက် (nak) (as seen in နံနက် (namnak, “morning”)) + an element of unclear interpretation and origin ဖြန် (hpran)?”
