Etymology
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Uncertain; not given etymology by STEDT (htɑ¹ mɑŋ³ "rice (cooked)"), while Luce seems to consider the second syllable related to Old Chinese米 (OC *miːʔ, “rice”).[1] The Burmese form is also phonetically similar to Iraqi Arabicتمن(timman, “rice”), though this may be coincidental.”
