Vietnamese
Etymology
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
Noun
(classifier cây) lúa
- rice (with seed still in stalk)
- (Central Vietnam, Southern Vietnam) paddy; unhusked rice
- Synonym: thóc
