Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s(y)ar (“louse”). Cognate with Akha [script needed] (shɛ́-mɔ̀, “idem”) (STEDT). (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Does the "tree bark" sense belong with the "louse" sense? MED separates the two.”)

  1. louse (insect of the order Psocodea)
  2. tree from the bark of which a dye is obtained; Terminalia oliveri[1]

Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (tθɑ̃⁵⁵ "million"). Luce gives Old Chinese 千 (OC *sn̥ʰiːn, “thousand”) as a cognate,[2] though modern scholarship seems to have implicitly abandoned this connection.”

Etymology 3

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (sân "cross a path, river"). Bears some similarities to Chinese 闖／闯 (chèn, “to rush in, charge”), though if the Chinese isn't attested until late, this makes a connection more tenuous, in addition to rather weak semantics. Also bears resemblance to 進 (OC *ʔslins, “to advance”).”
