Vietnamese[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Vietic *ʔa-lɔːʔ (“paddy rice”). Compare Nghệ An/Hà Tĩnh dialects ló; cognate with Arem alɑːˀ.

According to Ferlus, it is a loanword from Old Chinese 稻 (OC *l'uːʔ) (SV: đạo), in turn related to Proto-Mon-Khmer *sruʔ (“paddy rice”) and Proto-Mon-Khmer *t₂rawʔ ~ *t₂raaw() (“taro”). Ferlus reasons that the two different plants share the same ecological farming niche, thus facilitating semantic shift from "taro" to "rice".[1] Shorto notes a dubious connection between Proto-Vietic *ʔa-lɔːʔ and Proto-Mon-Khmer *s-ruʔ (“paddy”).[2]

Pronunciation[edit]
