Etymology 4
editNon-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 覺 (SV: giác).
This morpheme was extensively attested written with the phonogram 谷 (MC kuwk) in Nôm texts, however, it already fell into disuse for some time before the colonial period.
Because of the fact that it is already mostly obsolete before the wide adoption of the Latin script, in modern romanization of Nôm texts, the phonogram 谷 (MC kuwk) is also commonly transliterated as *cốc, probably based on the Sino-Vietnamese reading cốc of the grapheme; however, there is little direct evidence that this is closer to actual pronunciation of the word when it was in use. On the other hand, cóc is glossed as biết (“to know”) in Đại Nam quấc âm tự vị (1885), and the compound cóc biết was translated as probè intelligere (“to understand well”) in Dictionarium Anamitico-Latinum (1838).
