This Proto-Mon-Khmer entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence. |

Although the label of Proto-Mon-Khmer has mostly been abandoned or rejected, this reconstruction, which sourced from Shorto (2006)'s reconstruction for Proto-Mon-Khmer, currently does not have an appropriate Proto-Austroasiatic reconstruction. This reconstruction therefore should not be taken at face value as a state-of-the-art reconstruction for Proto-Austroasiatic, but instead ought to be treated as a valid cognate set. |
Proto-Mon-Khmer
[edit]Etymology
[edit]- Proto-Mon-Khmer: *d₂luuŋ ~ *d₂luŋ ~ *d₂luəŋ ~ *d₂ləŋ (Shorto, 2006, #747)
Perhaps a derivate of Proto-Mon-Khmer *luŋ(h) ~ *luuŋ(h) ~ *ləŋ(h) (“to hollow, excavate, bore”). According to Sidwell (2006), Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-lawŋ (“boat”) may be borrowed from this root.
Noun
[edit]*d₂luuŋ
