Burmese
Etymology
From Proto-Lolo-Burmese *yipᴸ ~ yupᴸ (“to sleep”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-y(i/u)p (“idem”). Cognate with Lolopo yixr (“to lie down, to sleep”), Jingpho yup (“to sleep”), Drung ip (“to sleep”), Yakkha युप्मा (jupma, “to sleep”) and Naxi yil (“to sleep”); note similarity with Old Chinese 魘 (OC *qemʔ, *qeb, “bad sleep, nightmare”). Note also 邑 (OC *qrɯb, “settlement, city”), 葺 (OC *ʔsib, *sʰib, *zib, “to thatch”), which may stem from the same root; for a semantic parallel regarding the connection between "rest, sleep" and "cover, reside" in an unrelated language, note English couch and city, both from the same Indo-European root (STEDT). Doublet of သိပ် (sip).
