Pela
Etymology
From Chinese 千 (qiān, “thousand”), possibly via Southwestern Mandarin. It seems that this loanword replaced the native term derived from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-toŋ (“thousand”), which most Burmish languages still have, as in Burmese ထောင် (htaung, “thousand”), and outside Burmish, for instance, Tibetan སྟོང (stong, “thousand”).
Pronunciation
IPA(key): /tsʰɛn³⁵/
Numeral
tsʰɛn³⁵
- thousand
Usage notes
Like in English, Chinese and Burmese, tsʰɛn³⁵ needs to be modified with a cardinal numeral. Thus, for "one thousand", tə̆.tsʰɛn³⁵ ("tə̆" is a reduced form of ta³¹("one")) should be used.
