Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *mV-pjər (“to fly”). Cognate to Tibetan འཕུར ('phur) and Garo bila.

This term also greatly resembles to Proto-Mon-Khmer *par (“to fly”), from whence comes Old Mon ပဝ် (pɔ) and Proto-Vietic *pər (“to fly”) (whereas Vietnamese bay).

Related to Old Chinese 翂 (*pɯn, “appearance of birds flying slowly”) and Old Chinese 奮 (*pɯns, “spread wings and fly”).

(ticket):
From English fare. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
(femto-):
Borrowed from English femto-.
