རྒོད

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-la(ŋ/k) (“falcon, vulture, eagle, kite, hawk, bird of prey”), which is likely a loan from Proto-Mon-Khmer *laŋ ~ *laaŋ ~ *laiŋ (“large raptor”). Compare Mon လနေၚ် (“kite”), Khmer ខ្លែង (khlaeng, “kite”). (Benedict, 1972; STEDT).

Cognate to Jingpho gəlaŋ (“eagle, kite, hawk”), Jingpho lang (“bird of the falcon family”), Mianchi Southern Qiang là (“kite, hawk”) and Mianchi Southern Qiang lá (“eagle, vulture”), Burmese လင်းတ (lang:ta., “vulture”). Possibly connected to Chinese 鷹／鹰 (yīng, “eagle”) (Benedict, 1990; Schuessler, 2007).

Doublet of གླག (glag).
