sam in Vietnamese

IPA: [saːm˧˧] [Hà-Nội], [ʂaːm˧˧] [Huế], [saːm˧˧] [Huế], [ʂaːm˧˧] (note: Saigon), [saːm˧˧] (note: Saigon) Forms: con [classifier], 杉 [CJK], 衫 [CJK], 𧏰 [CJK], 𧓰 [CJK], 𪓫 [CJK] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Highly unlikely due to irregular sound change. Possibly from Proto-Mon-Khmer *kt₁aam (“crab”) (Norman & Mei, 1976; mistakenly glossed as "king crab"). However, Shorto (2006) includes no such derivation. Compare Vietnamese đam (“field crab”) and Lingao sam¹ (“horseshoe crab”).
