Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Baxter & Sagart (2014) considers it a reflex of the unprefixed form of Old Chinese (OC *m-kˤreʔ, “crab”) (B-S) (SV: giải), but OC *kr- regularly yields ‹s-›, in other cases ‹gi-›, ‹tr-›, and the rarer ‹ch-›, never retains *k-, in modern Vietnamese. Still, its ultimate origin is very likely Sino-Tibetan; compare Proto-Sino-Tibetan *d-k(j)aːj (crab).”
