Etymology edit

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Sip Song Chau Tai is a Tai Lü compound consisting of sibsong "twelve" and chu "master". It is cognate to สิบสองจุไท, and may rendered in English as "Twelve Tai Kingdoms" or "Chiefdoms", according to relative standing in the Southeast Asian mandala political model, in allusion to either a Chief of the Name or a tribal chief. Sibsong derives from Chinese 十 (ten) and 雙 (pair). "Chu", (rendered in Tai as จุ or in longer form เจ้า,) derives from Middle Chinese 主 (ćǘ) "master." But what is the relation of "Sip Song Chau Tai" and "Lai Chau"? Is it /Tai Chau/ -> /Rai Chau/ -> /Lai Chau/?”
