editEtymology 1
editFrom Proto-Vietic *k-saŋ. Cognate with Muong thăng, Arem atʰaŋ, Thavung กะซัง.
Shorto (2006) traces Viet-Muong items' etymological origins to Proto-Mon-Khmer *sra(a)ŋ, but this can be dismissed as all Vietic cognates point to *-s-.
Noun
edit(classifier cái, chiếc) răng • (夌, 𪘵, 𲎩, 𫆢, 𬹸, 𦢠)
- tooth
- bộ răng ― denture
