[edit]Does this word derive from 犀角? If so, does this Vietnamese word mean "rhinoceros" or "rhinoceros horn"? Does "rhinoceros" have to be "con tê giác" in Vietnamese? 71.66.97.228 17:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Is is derived indeed from 犀角, but by metonymy, it means a rhinoceros rather than a rhinoceros horn. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
