ထွေရာလေးပါး
Burmese
Etymology
ထွေ (htwe, “to be perturbed; numerical classifier for varied items”) + ရာ (ra, “to be suitable; place”) + လေး (le:, “four”) + ပါး (pa:, “numerical classifier for sacred things”). It is possible that ရာ (ra) is invoking the "hundred" sense rather than the "place" sense that MED assigns it.
