This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not given etymology by STEDT (khre "reduce to small particles"), and not mentioned by Luce 1981. MED lists သည်းခြေ(sany:hkre, “gall, bile”) under this sense, while STEDT derives the second syllable from Proto-Tibeto-Burman*m/s-kri(y)-s(“gall(bladder), bile, sour”), whence also Tibetanམཁྲིས(mkhris, “bile”). Could the "crush" verbal sense be a semantic extension of the "bile" sense, as bile could be thought of as a bodily fluid that "crushes" digestible matter into smaller pieces?”
particle suffixed to nouns to denote a collection of things or persons
