adyưng

Etymology

From Proto-Katuic *ʄɨɨŋ, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *ɟuŋ ~ *ɟuəŋ ~ *ɟəŋ (“leg, foot”).

Since Katuic, Palaungic and Vietic are the only Austroasiatic branches with reconstructable *ʄ and Palaungic (*ɟɤːŋ) and Vietic (*ɟiːŋ) have plain *ɟ for this item, it is possible that Katuic innovated *ʄ in this case.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ʔaʄɯːŋ]

Noun

adyưng 

1. foot
2. leg
