This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “STEDT apparently has a potential Chinese comparandum for this, but it's only listed with a code "S533" and no character given (the STEDT database in general seems to be in a "beta build" state). Maybe the character is 飯 (OC *bonʔ, *bons, “cooked rice”), which is generally thought to be derived from Proto-Mon-Khmer*puuŋ(“cooked rice”)? In that case, is this an areal word?”
