Vietnamese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Mon-Khmer *gɔn (“stable, enduring”) (Shorto 2006, #1131). Cognate with Mon ဂန် (kòn, “to be original, primal”), Parauk kɔn ("still"). Note similarities in form and meaning to Khmer គង់ (kŭəng, “to be durable”), though the velar nasal final consonant in the Khmer does not match.
