Vietnamese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Vietnamese tlẻ.
Attested in Phật thuyết đại báo phụ mẫu ân trọng kinh (佛說大報父母恩重經) as ⿺礼亇, composed of 亇 + 礼 (MC lejX) (modern SV: cá lễ), 礼 (MC lejX) (modern SV: lễ) and 里 (MC liX) (modern SV: lí).
Sometimes connected to Chinese 稚 (MC drijH) (SV: trĩ) but this can now be rejected based on the *kl- cluster in Old Vietnamese.
