This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (thî "umbrella") and not mentioned by Luce 1981. Doesn't resemble any word in the MSEA area for "umbrella"; was its original meaning "umbrella"? As a not-so-fundamental sense, the word's sense development would have to be traced back further for more accurate analysis. Resembles Old Chinese提 (OC *deː, *dje, “to raise, put forward”), and umbrellas happen to be tools put forward to block rain.”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (thî "single, alone"). Luce gives Old Chinese特 (OC *dɯːɡ, “single, alone, special”) as a cognate.[1] This is semantically appealing, particularly with the existence of 犆 (OC *dɯɡ, “bull (male cow)”) and the "male suffix" sense for the Burmese, though the finals don't appear to match (more research needed into ST linguistics).”
