Alternative forms

  • (North Central Vietnam) bua (without lenition)

Etymology

edit

The Northern Middle Vietnamese form ꞗua (king) with lenition is attested in Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum.

Compare North Central Vietnamese bua without lenition and the compound phân bua. Compare also Mang pua² and Tai Dam ꪜꪺ, borrowed from an older form of Vietnamese. Cognate with Chut [Mày] tapuo¹ (Babaev & Samarina, 2018).

Attested in Phật thuyết đại báo phụ mẫu ân trọng kinh (佛說大報父母恩重經) as 𢃊, composed of (MC si) + (MC puH) (modern SV: bố).

Pronunciation

Noun

edit

(classifier vị, đức, nhà) vua (𤤰, 𢃊, 𪻟)

  1. a monarch (ruler)
    • Phan Châu Trinh Đạo đức và luân lí Đông Tây [Eastern and Western Ideas on Morality and Ethics]:
      Một nước bao nhiêu triệu dân mà chỉ giao phó quyền chính cho một ông vua thì chẳng là ngu xuẩn lắm ư? Gặp được ông vua thông minh còn e lo chưa hết bổn phận thay, huống là gặp phải anh vua u mê làm ròng những sự độc ác, cấm dân có ăn học không được lo việc nước, thì dân có ăn học không được lo việc nước, thì dân khốn khổ biết bao, và còn có ai dám ra mà gánh vác. Một nhà không ai lo chủ trương, một nước không ai lo chủ trương, thì nhà nước ấy làm sao không tan không mất được.
      A country with millions of subjects under the rule of a single monarch, does that not sound foolish? It's not even guaranteed a bright monarch can rule to his full capacity, so if there's a dim monarch who indulges in cruelty, who bans his educated subjects from contributing, those subjects can't contribute, everyone suffers, who would be willing to take responsibility then? A home without anyone taking charge, a country without anyone taking charge, is it surprising that it falls?

(classifier con) vua

  1. (chess) a king
