Etymology 3

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *sjwar ~ g/b-sjwa-n/t (flow; pour; scatter; spill; sow; broadcast). STEDT compares the root to Burmese သွန် (swan, to pour out, to shed) and Old Chinese (to come loose, to scatter), (to sprinkle), yet the medial /-w-/ in Burmese remains unexplained, while the Pela form (together with most other Burmish forms) reflects an earlier *-an rather than *-wan, making their correspondence with Burmese unlikely. Compare Lhao Vo sin”, Zaiwa san and Longchuan Achang san³¹.

Verb
