ပြည့်တန်ဆာ

Burmese

Etymology

ပြည့် (prany.) +‎ တန်ဆာ (tanhca, “tools; genitals”); the sense invoked for the first syllable ပြည့် (prany.) could be invoking either the "of a country" or "to be full" senses, though as MED incorrectly groups these senses together and thus does not separate their derived terms, the ultimate semantic identity is uncertain.
