Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *(b/p)ral (to leave, depart, separate) (STEDT). Cognate with Tibetan བྲལ་བ (bral ba, to be separated), འཕྲལ་བ ('phral ba, to cause to be separated, to separate), Miju phɑ̆l⁵³ (to pull (weeds)), phɹɯl⁵⁵ lɑ³⁵ (to collapse), Thulung phal si- (to collapse), Burmese ပြား (pra:, various), Jingpho pə³¹-ran³¹.

Karlgren (1933) grouped (OC *praːn), (OC *paːns), and (OC *brens) into one word family.

Schuessler (2007) also pointed to Austroasiatic comparanda semantically closer to Chinese; such as Khmer រាល (riəl, to spread, extend, distribute) and Khmer ព្រាល (priəl, to spread) with causative prefix *p-.

Possibly the same etymon as (OC *praːn, “variegated, spotted, striped”), which may be cognate to (OC *pral, “brown bear”) (Zhang, 2019).
