This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (tθɑ̃⁵⁵ "million"). Luce gives Old Chinese千 (OC *sn̥ʰiːn, “thousand”) as a cognate,[2] though modern scholarship seems to have implicitly abandoned this connection. That said, this could very well be an areal word. See also သိန်း(sin:, “hundred thousand”).”
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (sân "cross a path, river"). Bears some similarities to Chinese闖／闯 (chèn, “to rush in, charge”), though if the Chinese isn't attested until late, this makes a connection more tenuous, in addition to rather weak semantics. Also bears resemblance to 進 (OC *ʔslins, “to advance”).”
