Burmese

Etymology

The "intestine" and "core" senses are from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *wu (“belly; stomach; intestine; kidney”); cognate with Nuosu ꃶ (vu), Tangut 𗎨 (*wju², “intestines”) (STEDT). Luce 1981 also compares Old Chinese 腰 (OC *qew, “waist, kidney”).

The other senses are grouped together with the "guts" sense by MED, though they probably should not be - that said, neither STEDT nor Luce 1981 mentions these senses.
