Etymology
Inherited from Old Burmese တန်နှင်ကုနုယ်, decomposed as follows:
- The first element တန်နှင် (tanhnang) is interpreted by Luce as "governor", adducing Old Chinese 政 (OC *tjeŋs, “government”) as a cognate.[1]
- According to Miyake (2024), the second element ကုနုယ် (ku.nuy) may be a borrowing from Pyu (Myanmar) knuy (“sun”), from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ku-ni(k) (“sun”).
