Sino-Tibetan etymology :

Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *kĭt
Meaning: luck, happiness
Tibetan: skjid to be happy, happiness.
Burmese: khjać (OB khjat) to love, have affection for.
Comments: Simon 17; Peiros-Starostin 216; Coblin 87. The Burm. form is placed in STEDT 356 together with Tib. ãkhrig-pa 'copulate' with a reconstruction *krik, which seems less plausible (Burm. and LB forms show no signs of -r-).
