Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (pɔ²² "float"). Luce's comparison to Old Chinese 發 (OC *pad, “to issue”) is outdated.[1] Appears similar to Old Chinese 飄 (OC *pʰew, *bew, “to drift, flutter”), 漂 (OC *pʰew, *pʰews, “to float, drift”), though the initials appear to be different between the Burmese and Chinese.”
