Compare Tibetan ཕུང་པོ (phung po, heap), Tibetan སྤུང (spung, heap), Lepcha ᰣᰦᰎᰪᰵ (a-pŭŋ, a heap; a stock), Mizo [Term?] (puŋᴴ), [Term?] (punᴸ, increase; assemble), Mizo vûng (vuuŋᴴ), vûn (vuunᴸ, swollen), Mizo vûng (vuuŋᴿ, heap; mound), Chepang भुङ्‌हसा (bhuŋh-, to be burst or peak of activity (flowering, field work etc.)). Compare also Khmer ពោង (poong, protuberances/bumps on an animal's head), Khmer សំពោង (sɑmpoong, puffed up; swollen).

(OC *proːŋ, “country”) may be the same etymon (Wang, 1982, Schuessler, 2007).
