Etymology 2
The "molar" sense is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mV-qəm (“jaw, chin; molar”). Compare Old Chinese 頷 (OC *ɡɯːm, *ɡɯːmʔ, “chin; to nod”).
The "tray, drawer" sense is implicitly separated by STEDT, which leaves the origin open (aṁ "drawer"), while MED groups it with the "molar" sense. The grouping appears semantically feasible, as cabinet drawers resemble the jaws of the cabinets they are located in.
Noun
အံ • (am)
