Etymology 1

“Hanging from a tree” > “flower” > classifier for flowers.

Probably from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(d/n)waj (“to hang from; to cling to; creeper”), whence Burmese တွယ် (twai, “to cling”). May be related to 垂 (OC *djol, “to hang down”), 橢 (OC *l̥ʰoːlʔ, “oblong; oval”) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).

Also compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *kt₂uur (“ear”) (Schuessler, 2007).
