This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (khok "knock"). Luce gives Old Chinese敲 (OC *kʰraːw, *kʰraːws, “to knock, beat”) as a cognate.[1] Also bears some resemblance to 攪 (OC *kruːʔ, “to mix, disturb”).”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (khok "fold, double turn back"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Is this related to either the "knock" sense of Etymology 1 and/or the "tree bark" sense of Etymology 3? The latter seems implied with the STEDT entry ə-khok "fold; bark of tree; a time, turn". MED got a bit sloppy with the entry for ခေါက်; 17 entries are not organized, and some of the compounds listed for the "knock" sense seem to fit better under the "fold" sense. Are there more than 3 etymologically distinct usages of the word here?”
