Etymology 1 edit

“Hanging from a tree” > “flower” > classifier for flowers.

Probably from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(d/n)waj (to hang from; to cling to; creeper), whence Burmese တွယ် (twai, to cling). May be related to (OC *djol, “to hang down”), (OC *l̥ʰoːlʔ, “oblong; oval”) (Schuessler, 2007; STEDT).

Also compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *kt₂uur (ear) (Schuessler, 2007).
