Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *pyaw (“swim, float, raft”) (STEDT; Benedict, 1972; Schuessler, 2007).

Inside Chinese, cognate with 浮 (OC *bu, “to float”), 柎 (OC *po, “raft”), 泭 (OC *pʰo, *bo) & 桴 (OC *bu, *pʰuw, “raft, beam”);

Outside Chinese, cognate with Tibetan [script needed] ('pʰyo-ba, “swim, float, soar”), & Jingpho [script needed] (pyau ~ byau, “fly, float; play, shoot, as a fish”).
