"rùa" meaning in Vietnamese

See rùa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [zuə˨˩] [Hà-Nội], [ʐuə˦˩] [Huế], [ɹuə˨˩] (note: Saigon) Forms: con [classifier], 𧒍 [CJK], 𧒌 [CJK], 𪛅 [CJK], 𧒉 [CJK], 𪛇 [CJK], [alternative]
Etymology: Inherited from Proto-Vietic *ʔa-rɔː (“tortoise”). Cognate with Arem arɑː and North Central Vietnamese rò. Compare Santali ᱦᱚᱨᱚ (hôrô). The reduplicated form rùa rùa was used until rather recently, as seen in the Cách trí giáo khoa thư (革智教科書) composed in the 1920s. This form is now obsolete, which is a trend seen with other reduplicated nouns designing animals, such as nhền nhện (“spider”), bươm bướm (“butterfly”), se sẻ (“sparrow”), with the monosyllabic root (once again) becomes the dominant form.
