Etymology

edit
“To stay overnight; lodge > night; mansion of the zodiac [i.e. the Sun's lodging stations]”
Probably related to Austroasiatic: cf. Old Khmer *ruk (to take cover or shelter) > Khmer ជ្រុក (cruk, shelter; refuge), Khmer ស្រុក (srok, settlement; village) (Schuessler, 2007). Benedict (1972) relates it to the Tibeto-Burman terms listed in the etymology of (OC *laːɡs, “night”), however the phonetics is difficult to reconcile in the current reconstructions.
