Proto-Hmong-Mien[edit]

Alternative reconstructions[edit]

Ostapirat (2016)[1] reconstructs *kr- as the initial.

Etymology[edit]

Areal word; compare Proto-Austroasiatic *krəŋ (horn)[2] (Sidwell & Rau, 2015), as well as Old Chinese (OC *kroːɡ, *ɡ·roːɡ, “horn”).[3]

Benedict (1987) suggests a Tibeto-Burman origin. He reconstructs *krɔŋᴬ for "Donor-Miao-Yao" (the Tibeto-Burman language that was the source of the Proto-Hmong-Mien word).[4]

Noun[edit]

*klɛɔŋ

  1. horn (of animal)
