Etymology

[edit]

Li (1977) reconstructed Proto-Tai *ʔduəi(?)ꟲ¹[1] while saying about the part of the vowels, "Proto-Tai *uəi(?). Sometimes Siamese uai corresponds to Lungchow uui, but to Po-ai ii. The Proto-Tai reconstruction is uncertain."[2]

Cognate with Lao ດ້ວຍ (duāi), Northern Thai ᨴ᩠ᩅ᩠ᨿ, ᦑᦽ (toy).
