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 (mun-ñâŋ "mustard"). Luce compares the first syllable to Middle Chinese 葑 (MC pjowng|pjowngH, “turnip, mustard”), and the second syllable to 蒕 (MC 'jun, “Nippon lily”), as well as the entire word to Tibetan ཡུངས་ནག (yungs nag, “black mustard”).[1] The Old Chinese forms of the above characters do not match the Burmese closely; if related, there may be an entangled borrowing relationship across the linguistic area.”
