Burmese

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *m-dzj(u/i)t (“to tear, rip”); cognate with Lahu (jɨ̀ʔ, “to tear something”) (STEDT). Said root appears to be allofamically related to Proto-Tibeto-Burman *9d)ziːt ~ *(t)siːt (“to split”), the latter whence Tibetan ཟེད (zed, “broken off, damaged, injured”) and Jingpho (šìt, “to split lengthwise”). Note also similarities with these roots to Old Chinese 撕 (OC *seː, *se, “to tear, shred, rip”).
