Talk:လိပ်ပြာ

Etymology

@Wyang: I assume only the first syllable is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ljap and cognate with 蝶, right? Do we know where the second syllable ပြာ is from? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 08:58, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

@Angr I was searching for the etymology of the second syllable too. I remember reading some source analysing the second component as 'spirit, soul', but I couldn't verify it in dictionaries. Wyang (talk) 09:08, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks for looking. I wouldn't call the whole term inherited from PST, then, since only the first part is. So I changed {{inh}} to {{der}}. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:13, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
