တိုလီမိုလီ

Burmese

Etymology

According to MED, borrowed from a Hindi ထိုရာမိုရာ, which in Devanagari would be something like थोरामोरा (thorāmorā). No such word appears to exist in Hindi, and the MED may have been attempting to refer to थोड़ा-मोड़ा (thoṛā-moṛā, “a little bit”), a reduplicative form of थोड़ा (thoṛā, “a little bit”).
