Etymology 1

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (chip "shore, landing place"). Luce tentatively compares Old Chinese 集 (OC *zub, “to come together”) as a potential cognate.[1] The Chinese is thought to be related to Khmer ជួប (cuəp, “to meet with”); perhaps an areal word if the Burmese is also related?”

ဆိပ် • (hcip)

  1. wharf, dock, pier, jetty

Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (ə-chip "poison, venom"). Luce compares Old Chinese 酖 (OC *ʔl'uːm, “poisoned wine”) as a cognate, though the Old reconstruction doesn't seem similar.[2] Bears some resemblance to ဆေး (hce:, “medicine”).”
