mauh

Achang

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-murl. The Burmese and Chinese dialects have unexpectedly divergent rhymes; the Burmese dialect has the coda lost entirely (leading to the diphthongization of vowel *u to au), while the Chinese dialects converted an intermediate reflex *-ul to *-ui.
