Burmese

Etymology

From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *ʔ-dzakᴸ (“to join”), from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-dza-k (“to join, connect, build”). Cognate with Lhao Vo xo', Manipuri (sha, “to build”) (STEDT chak "join"). Despite semantic similarity and phonetic similarity in its descendant forms, Chinese 續／续 (xù, “continue, carry on”) appears to be unrelated.
