Sino-Tibetan etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *ghǝ̄r
Meaning: solid, firm
Tibetan: gar-mo thick (e.g. soup), gar-bu solid, not hollow; Sherpa ger-pu big
Lushai: khār congeal, be frozen.
Comments: Ben. 15. Cf. also Magar kǝr-hǝŋ-ke 'big'. Somewhat dubious - because the OCh. form is only attested within a compound, and because the Tib. form may be actually the same root as gar-ba strong, see *qhăr. Cf. PAN *se(ŋ)ger 'fit, healthy'. stibet-meaning,stibet-chin,stibet-tib,stibet-lush,stibet-comments,
