Burmese
Etymology
According to MED, from သင် (sang, “to teach, learn”) + ပုန်း (pun:, “to hide”), though this analysis seems semantically dubious. For the first component, STEDT suggests that it itself signifies "slate" rather than "teach" (saŋ- "oblong blackboard used as slate"), though no further etymology is given. For the second component, Luce suggests a relation to Old Chinese 版 (OC *praːnʔ, “board, tablet”) instead, though the phonetics are problematic.[1]
