Burmese
Etymology
For the "flat (piece)" sense, not given etymology by STEDT (khyap "flat and thin; insert a flat thin thing between two surfaces", "subside, dry up, as a sore; to be reduced, as a swelling"), while Luce 1981 compares Old Chinese 夾 (OC *kreːb, “to press between”), which appears reasonable. An even better comparandum is 甲 (OC *kraːb, “shell, armor”), which Luce gives as well for the compound word သံချပ် (samhkyap, “chain mail”), which would reconstruct back to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *krap (“shell; shield”).
The "subside" and "tuck between" senses (the latter likely whence a derived "bear in mind" sense) are grouped together by MED with the "flat" sense, but kept separate by Judson. It is unclear whether they are truly related, though the "tuck" sense appears to better correspond to 夾 (OC *kreːb) than 甲 (OC *kraːb).
