### Etymology 1

* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Not mentioned by Ratliff at all. Closest-sounding interrogative particle in the area is Chinese 嗎／吗 (ma) - though this is most likely coincidence, as Hmongic "p" and "b" don't correspond to Sinitic "m". Perhaps an ad hoc formation to fulfill the interrogative function?”

#### Particle

puas
* interrogative particle, inserted in front of a verb to turn a declarative sentence into a question
    Koj puas xav noj? ― Do you want to eat?

### Etymology 2

From Proto-Hmong *bu̯aᴮ (“bad, spoiled”), likely borrowed from Middle Chinese 腐 (MC bjuX, “to spoil, rot”).

#### Adjective

puas
* to destroy, to spoil, to make or become useless
    puas lawm ― spoiled, useless

### Etymology 3

Tone change from pua.

#### Numeral

puas
* Alternative form of pua (“hundred”)
