Etymology

edit

Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese (SV: hiếu). This form is from the verbal (MC xawH, “to be fond of, to like”), while the reading hảo is from the adjectival (MC xawX, “good”). In term of phonetic development, although it is not considered "standard" Sino-Vietnamese, háo would be the expected Sino-Vietnamese reflex of the verbal form, not hiếu.

Compare (MC kawH), which has the regular reading cáo, while kiếu is non-SV.
