Etymology

[edit]

Causative of အိပ် (ip).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “STEDT considers the "compress, crowd" meaning separate from the "put to sleep" meaning, and leaves the origin of the former open. The colloquial "very" meaning is semantically more likely to derive from the "compress" than the "put to sleep" sense.”
