{ku.ya.} / {kuèý} / {kwé}

{kuèý} : not pronounceable by present-day Bur-Myan speakers, has been changed into  -->
{kwé}

UKT 111005: According to U Tun Tint, MLC, (personal communication), the vowel {tic-hkaún:ngín ya.þût} had existed in Pagan period (11th to 13th CE), but it has given way to {þa.wé-hto: wa.hswè:}. Other changes have been:

 

UKT 190116: I view these changes as change from back vowel which is present in Mon-Myan, to front vowel . I speculate that with the religious change from Bamah-Ari to Mon-Theravada, Mon-Myan had been introduced to Bur-Myan speaking Pagan. However, the influence of Mon had dwindled overtime and Bur-Myan had come back. Caveat: this note of mine may have to be modified with further study.

UKT 140325: Macdonell does not give any Skt-Dev entry for {ku.ya.}. Similarly U Hoke Sein also does not give any for Pal-Myan. However, when {ya.} is further velarized by making it into a {ya.pín.}-medial, as {yya.}, a Pal-Myan word is possible.
See my note on velarization of consonants.

Védic language is not Sanskrit, it probably belongs Tib-Bur language group -- the language of the Bronze Age peoples. Sanskrit, on the other hand, is IE (Indo-European) the Iron Age intruders who infiltrated from the highlands of Persia (non-Islamic at that time). After getting a foothold they subjugated Bronze-Agers making them into Sudras or slaves. The Bronze-Agers were denied to study their own language. The Mantras, or formulas, of the Vedic were found useful to Sanskrit speakers, and were turned into into Hymns to their male-gods, such as Vishnu-Déva and Siva-Déva. They turned the single-faced Brahma into a four-faced Mahabrahma - now a déva. The Sanskrit speakers rewrote history claiming the Mother-goddesses of the Bronze-Agers to be wives of their male gods.

UKT notes

King Prasenajit

UKT 200302: I've heard of King {pa.þé-na.di kau:þa.la. mín:} since my early childhood because of the well-known Burmese song on his 16-dreams. It was a well-known song then, on the shape of things to come. The king was a glutton, and is said to eat one basket of cooked rice and one goat every day. He was clearly fat and had bad dreams. He had 16 nightmares which had frightened him. In one of his nightmares he dreamt that he saw rocks floating on water, whilst in another he saw floats sinking to the bottom. He thought these 16 nightmares which he thought were omens of things to come during his reign. He was quieted by Gautama Buddha who interpreted that these things will not come about during his time.

When I heard this song it was sometime before the Second World War when people in Burma saw the dwindling fortunes of the British Raj, and the coming of Self-rule in Burma. It was a time of riots in Burma, and calamities world wide.
