Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be mentioned by STEDT. Luce gives Old Chinese (OC *sqʰʷi, “although”) as a cognate, particularly for the derived compound သော်လည်း (saulany:, but, although), which bears striking resemblance to the Sinitic compound 雖然虽然 (suīrán, “although”) (though the second components are probably not related).[1] However, later reconstructions of the Old Chinese place this comparison in doubt.”
