tsʰɛn³⁵

Etymology
From, possibly via Southwestern Mandarin. It seems that this loanword replaced the native term derived from, which most Burmish languages still have, as in Burmese , and outside Burmish, for instance, Tibetan.

Numeral

 * 1) thousand

Usage notes
Like in English, Chinese and Burmese, tsʰɛn³⁵ needs to be modified with a cardinal numeral. Thus, for "one thousand", tə̆.tsʰɛn³⁵ ("tə̆" is a reduced form of ta³¹("one")) should be used.
