အင်

• IPA^(key): /ʔɪ̀ɴ/
• Romanization: MLCTS: ang • ALA-LC: ʼaṅʻ • BGN/PCGN: in • Okell: iñ

According to STEDT, the "strength, potential" sense is from a Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-baŋ (“strength, power”), whence perhaps Old Chinese 堂 (OC *daːŋ, “main room; magnificent”).

The other senses are grouped with the "strength" sense by MED, though the grouping of the "bowl" sense appears semantically suspect, and that sense is implicitly separated by STEDT, who leaves its origin open (aŋ "earthen cup or bowl").
