တင်

• IPA^(key): /tɪ̀ɴ/
• Romanization: MLCTS: tang • ALA-LC: taṅʻ • BGN/PCGN: tin • Okell: tiñ

Perhaps from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-tjaŋ (“top; to rise”). Luce gives Old Chinese 置 (OC *tɯɡs, “to place”) as a cognate,^[1] though this comparison seems outdated.

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-daŋ (“buttocks; hips”); cognate with Jingpho [script needed] (dang, “buttock”) (STEDT). Luce additionally compares Old Chinese 膛 (“chest; hollow cavity”) (though the semantics are not a very good fit).^[2]
