| This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “The original meaning is quite transparently "to obey, to follow". The Nôm characters all have 邦 (MC pˠʌŋ) (SV: bang) as phonetic, so the current ‹v-› is the result of lenition. Based on the character 𢀥 (巨 (MC ɡɨʌX) + 邦 (MC pˠʌŋ)), it might be tempting to reconstruct the onset *k-p-.” |
