Burmese[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Old Burmese က္လဉ်ဇော (klañjo). Said by the Myanmar–English Dictionary to be borrowed from Pali kataññutā (gratitude), from Sanskrit कृतज्ञता (kṛtajñatā, gratitude), but this seems phonologically unlikely.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /t͡ɕézú/
  • Romanization: MLCTS: kye:ju: • ALA-LC: kyeʺjūʺ • BGN/PCGN: kye:zu: • Okell: ceìzù
