Etymology edit
From Northern Middle Vietnamese blun, from Proto-Vietic *p-luːn ~ *p-ruːn, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *(b)ruun. Cognate with Khmer ព្រូន (pruun), Mon မြုန် (pərùn). Originally the Northern form, see giai for the sound change.
Trùn, from a non-Northern Middle Vietnamese form, is still widely used in these dialects.
