Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Hmong *ʔlɛŋᴬ (classifier for bowls and houses), borrowed from Chinese (ān, thatched hut). Cognate with Proto-Mien *ʔnɛɔmᴬ (id).[1]

Other proposals consider the word as borrowed from Proto-Tai *lɯ:kᴰ (child (offspring)). If that case, then cognate with Thai ลูก (lûuk), Northern Thai ᩃᩪᨠ, Lao ລູກ (lūk), ᦟᦴᧅ (luuk), Tai Dam ꪩꪴꪀ, Shan လုၵ်ႈ (lūk), Tai Nüa ᥘᥧᥐ (luk), Khamti လုက်ႉ, Phake လုက် (luk), Ahom 𑜎𑜤𑜀𑜫 (luk), Bouyei leg, Zhuang lwg. Within Kra-Dai, compare Sui laag (son), Proto-Hlai *hlɯːk (child; offspring) (whence ɗɯːʔ⁷~ɬɯːʔ⁷~ɬɯːk⁷~ɬɯaʔ⁷ across the different lects) and Proto-Be *ləːkᴰ² (child; offspring) (whence lɛk⁸~lək⁸ across the different lects). Compare also Siraya alak.
