## Burmese
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /mjɪʔ/
* Romanization: MLCTS: mrac • ALA-LC: mracʻ • BGN/PCGN: myit • Okell: myiʔ

### Etymology 1

* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “MED groups the "river" and "forbid" senses together, probably as rivers were obstacles that "forbade progress", though the senses probably should not be grouped together.
* For the "river" sense, not given etymology by STEDT (mrac "river"). Luce adduces Old Chinese 瀰 (OC *niːlʔ, *mnel, *mnelʔ, “overflowing rich water”) as a cognate. This is outdated, in light of later Old Chinese reconstructions. Bears stronger resemblance to 脈 (OC *mreːɡ, “vein”).
* For the "forbid" sense, not given etymology by STEDT (mrac "impede, obstruct"), and Luce adduces no cognates.”

### Etymology 2

* This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “MED groups the "root", "gizzard", and "great-grandchild" senses together, probably because all were conceived as "round stubby objects". It is unclear if these senses should be etymologically grouped together.
* For the "root" sense, not given etymology by STEDT (amrac "root"). Luce gives Old Chinese 本 (OC *pɯːnʔ, “root, origin”) and Tibetan རྩད (rtsad, “root”) as cognates. The Chinese comparison is problematic and outdated.
* For the "gizzard" sense, STEDT does not mention it, while Luce gives Old Chinese 胃 (OC *ɢuds, “stomach”) and Tibetan གྲོད་པ (grod pa, “first stomach”) as cognates. Neither is phonetically convincing.
* For the "great-grandchild" sense, not given etymology by STEDT (mrac "great-grandchild"), while Luce tentatively compares Tibetan བརྒྱུད (brgyud, “to transmit; descendants”).”
