Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from a historical Kra-Dai language spoken in what was once the Kingdom of Wu, literally "good road", based on textual, grammatical, and phonetic evidences (Zhengzhang, 1990):

  • (OC *lɯ) – "good": cf. Siba Mulam [Term?] (/⁠ʔi˦˨⁠/), Southern Kam [Term?] (/⁠lai˥˥⁠/), Qabiao [Term?] (/⁠(lăŋ˥˥).ʔăj˥˥⁠/); Thai ดี (dii), etc.;
  • (OC *qʰʷa) – "road; path", < alternative transcription (OC *ɢʷaːnʔ): cf. Siba Mulam [Term?] (/⁠kʰwən˦˨⁠/) Southern Kam [Term?] (/⁠kʰwən˧˥⁠/), Qabiao [Term?] (/⁠xɒn˥˥⁠/); Thai หน (hǒn), Zhuang roen (/⁠ɣon˨˦⁠/), etc.
