Burmese

Etymology

[edit]

Apparently from a Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k/ʔ-r(ə/a)w (to fry, roast, cook) (STEDT #5862, though none of its reflexes have been hyperlinked to it within the STEDT database). Compare Old Chinese (OC *keːws, *kreːwʔ, “to burn (on a pyre)”), (OC *rew, *rewʔ, *rews, “to hunt at night with torches, burn, make burnt offering”). Despite superficial similarity, apparently unrelated to (OC *sʰroːʔ, “to stir-fry”).
