မီးစဉ်ကြည့်က

Burmese

Etymology

မီး (mi:, “fire”) +‎ စဉ် (cany) +‎ ကြည့် (krany., “to look at”) +‎ က (ka., “to dance”), interpreted as "to dance wherever the spotlight falls". The semantic identity of the second syllable, စဉ် (cany), is uncertain, due to MED mistakenly entering the second syllable as the unrelated စစ် (cac), but is probably "to line up; while" rather than "to splash, scatter".
