Vietnamese

Etymology

Ferlus reconstructed Proto-Vietic *k-piːl ~ *ɓiːlʔ (“eyelid”). This is a curious etymology.

The potential Muong Bi cognate pèl is attested in Từ điển Mường-Việt (2002), having an A tone and pointing to a plain stop, while the Vietnamese word has a nasal, which points to the implosive *ɓ, and a B tone. The various clearly cognate forms are attested in Ngữ âm tiếng Mường qua các phương ngôn (1982), with both forms showing tone A (akin to Mường Bi) and tone B (akin to Vietnamese). Tho [Cuối Chăm] biːl³ agrees with Vietnamese in both initial and tone.
