စိန်

• IPA^(key): /sèɪɴ/
• Romanization: MLCTS: cin • ALA-LC: cinʻ • BGN/PCGN: sein • Okell: seiñ

According to MED, borrowed from Pali vajira (“diamond”), though this appears phonetically tenuous, even considering the considerable amount of phonetic shift that Burmese borrowings from Indic tend to undergo. That said, STEDT gives no etymology (cin "diamond"), and Luce 1981 does not mention the term.
