Etymology 1

Etymology unclear. Maybe a common innovative form in some Burmish languages, thus cognate with Zaiwa i, Lashi eig' and Luxi Achang ak⁵⁵. Whether these forms are related to forms with initial s-/ʃ-(as in Lhao Vo shid') or not is unclear but seems possible.

Etymology 2

Possibly cognate with Burmese သေး (se:, “urine”)(cf. Pela i̠⁵⁵ (“liquor”) vs. Burmese သေ (se, “liquor”)). If so, from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-ts(y)i-t/n (“urine, urinate”), and cognate with Tibetan གཅི་བ (gci ba, “urinate”), Sichuan Yi ꋩ (zzy, “urine”) and Jingpho jit. Compare Lhao Vo yhid' and Zaiwa i.
