Etymology 3

Sino-Vietnamese word from 本; this is the Northern form. Doublet of bổn, earlier the common form and later the Southern form.

This form is probably a rather late innovation in the Northern region, displaced bổn in the Northern dialects:

bản as the Sino-Vietnamese reading of 本 (MC pwonX) is attested once (as bản đạo) in the Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum, a dictionary chiefly based on the Northern dialects, while bổn is attested thrice (in bổn đạo (“of the same religion”), bổn cục (“a circle of craftsmen”), nhịt bổn (“Japan”)).
The expected Sino-Vietnamese reflex for this rime is /on/, cf. bôn < 奔 (MC pwon), bồn < 盆 (MC bwon), bộn < 坌 (MC bwonH).
In early Nôm texts (which are all of clear Northern origin), 本 (MC pwonX) was used as a phonogram or as the phonetic in phono-semantograms to write the native Vietnamese word bốn (“four”), whose vocalism value is stable throughout its development from Proto-Vietic to Modern Vietnamese.

bản
