đả

Muong edit

Etymology edit

Borrowed from Vietnamese đá. The expected form if this was a cognate would be *tả, cf. tả (“to kick”).

The chief word for "stone, rock" in most Muong lects is a reflex of Proto-Vietic *b-ruːʔ (“mountain, forest > stone”) (> Vietnamese rú). In Mường Bi, the form is khũ.

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /ɗaː³/

Noun edit

đả

(Mường Bi, chiefly in certain compounds) stone
