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 (pu⁵³ lĩ⁵⁵ "bottle"), and doesn't seem to be mentioned by Luce 1981. A loan from some local language, like Mon? Component syllables don't seem to contribute meaning to this word, suggesting as such. Could it be from the same Pali root as Chinese 玻璃 (bōli, “glass”)?”
