ong khoái
Vietnamese edit
Etymology edit
ong + khoái; the second element is from Proto-Vietic *kweːʔ, borrowed from a Sino-Tibetan language. Cognate with Chut [Rục] kwiː³, Chepang क्वाय्, Drung kua, Manipuri ꯈꯣꯏ (khoʼi) (the latter three inherited from a common ST root, reconstructed as Proto-Sino-Tibetan *k/gwaːj ~ *k/gwa by STEDT). The initial velar shows irregular aspiration.
