Vietnamese

Etymology

Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 好 (SV: hiếu). This form is from the verbal 好 (MC xawH, “to be fond of, to like”), while the reading hảo is from the adjectival 好 (MC xawX, “good”). In term of phonetic development, although it is not considered "standard" Sino-Vietnamese, háo would be the expected Sino-Vietnamese reflex of the verbal form, not hiếu.

Compare 告 (MC kawH), which has the regular reading cáo, while kiếu is non-SV.

Pronunciation
