| This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “The word is attested as 代 (and other characters with 代 as phonetic) in Phật thuyết and the form đãy is recorded in Từ điển Mường-Việt (2002, based on the Mường Bi lect of Hoà Bình), so a Common-Viet-Muong form *C-dajʔ can probably be reconstructed.” |
