From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pV-rja(k) (“hundred”). Cognate with Burmese ရာ (ra) (Old Burmese ရျာ (ryā)), Tibetan བརྒྱ (brgya, “hundred”), Old Chinese 百 (*praːɡ), Tangut 𘊝 (*ꞏjir², “hundred”), Horpa, Nuosu ꉐ (hxa) and Jingpho latsa. Compare Lhao Vo yo, Zaiwa sho and Hpon yáʔ.
ja⁵⁵
Like in English, Chinese and Burmese, ja⁵⁵ needs to be modified with a cardinal numeral. Thus, for "one hundred", tə̆.ja⁵⁵ ("tə̆" is a reduced form of ta³¹("one")) should be used.
Likely from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-ya, thus cognate with Burmese လယ်ယာ (laiya, “land for cultivation”) and Jingpho yi (“dry field”). However, Nishi(2017) has pointed out that the Burmese term had been spelled ရျာ (rya) in Old Burmese, therefore may be reconstructed a *ry- rather than *y- as initial. Compare Hpon jáʔ, Zaiwa yo, Lhao Vo yo thaung and Longchuan Achang ʑɔ⁵⁵.
ja⁵⁵
This word has /j-/ as initial consonant. Its reduced form is /jĭ-/.
Either borrowed from Tai Nüa ᥕᥣ (yaa, “cure”) or Shan ယႃ (yǎa, “cure, medicine”), ultimately from Proto-Tai *ˀjɯəᴬ (“medicine”). Compare Lhao Vo ya and Zaiwa ya.
