Sino-Tibetan etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *lŏ ( ~ -ǝ̆w)
Meaning: wish, desire
Burmese: lǝw to want, wish.
Comments: The OCh. form can be alternatively compared with Jnp. mǝju1 to wish. On the other hand, both forms may be derived from *lŏ ( ~ -ǝ̆w) 'copulate', reconstructed in STEDT 353-355 as *lǝw and reflected in Lakher, Lushei lu, Manchati lui, Chepang luʔ-sa, Gyarung ta-lu 'copulate', Burm. lǝwʔ, lǝwh 'pierce in coitus'.
