Pronunciation

[edit]

IPA(key): /ja⁵⁵/

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *b-r-gja (hundred). Cognate with Burmese ရာ (ra) (Old Burmese ရျာ (ryā)), Tibetan བརྒྱ (brgya, hundred), Old Chinese (*praːɡ), Tangut 𘊝 (*ꞏjir², hundred), Horpa rjə, Nuosu (hxa) and Jingpho latsa. Compare Lhao Vo yo, Zaiwa sho and Hpon yáʔ.

Numeral

[edit]

ja⁵⁵

  1. hundred
Usage notes
[edit]

Like in English, Chinese and Burmese, ja⁵⁵ needs to be modified with a cardinal numeral. Thus, for "one hundred", tə̆.ja⁵⁵ ("tə̆" is a reduced form of ta³¹("one")) should be used.

Etymology 2

[edit]

Likely from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *s-ya, thus cognate with Burmese လယ်ယာ (laiya, land for cultivation) and Jingpho yi (dry field). However, Nishi(2017)[1] has pointed out that the Burmese term had been spelled ရျာ (rya) in Old Burmese, therefore may be reconstructed a *ry- rather than *y- as initial. Compare Hpon jáʔ, Zaiwa yo, Lhao Vo yo thaung and Longchuan Achang ʑɔ⁵⁵.

Noun

[edit]

ja⁵⁵

  1. field, land (in compounds)
Usage notes
[edit]

This word has /j-/ as initial consonant. Its reduced form is /jĭ-/.

Derived terms
[edit]

Etymology 3

[edit]

Either borrowed from Tai Nüa ᥕᥣ (yaa, cure) or Shan ယႃ (yǎa, cure, medicine), ultimately from Proto-Tai *ˀjɯəᴬ (medicine). Compare Lhao Vo ya and Zaiwa ya.

Verb

[edit]

ja⁵⁵

  1. cure
