Pyun.

Brit.

/pjuː/, U.S.

/pju/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, Pyus.

Forms: 1900s– pyu, 1900s– pyü.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Burmese. Etymon: Burmese Pyu.

Etymology: Apparently < Burmese Pyu, of uncertain origin. Compare Chinese piao (in texts of the 3rd cent. a.d., first written with the chracter for ‘rebel’), written with various characters which indicate different tones and ultimately suggest an attempt to represent a foreign ethnonym, although no self-designation is recorded in the Pyu language.Compare the following reference to a possible self-designation:1985 G. H. Luce Phases pre-Pagan Burma 47 Early mentions of the Tircul or P'iao (Pyu) of Burma occur in Chinese texts...the peoples to the north of Burma..called the kingdom ‘Pyu’, while the southerners.., used a name approximately ‘Tircul’. Since the Pyu themselves used the latter name, I think it should be adopted in preference to ‘Pyu’.
