Burmese
Etymology
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-məw (“sky, clouds, fog”). Doublet of မြူ (mru, “fog”).
The "roof, hold over, tower" senses are considered equivalent to the "sky" sense by MED, but possibly different by STEDT (amui: "roof"). They appear to be semantic extensions from "sky" > "what lies above" > "roof, hold over".
