Noun

IPA: [tʰuəŋ˨˩ luəŋ˨˩] [Hà-Nội], [tʰuəŋ˦˩ luəŋ˦˩] [Huế], [tʰuəŋ˨˩ luəŋ˨˩] (note: Saigon) Forms: con [classifier], 從弄 [CJK], 𧐺𬠥 [CJK]
Etymology: Uncertain. Either: * From the proto-form /*tʰluong/ provisionally reconstructed by Trần Trọng Dương (2013). This form might be related to Middle Chinese 龍 (ljowng) in some way. The presence of preintial /*tʰ-/, however, is left unexplained. * Or, from Old Chinese 龍 (OC *[mə]-roŋ, “dragon”) (B-S) (SV: long) as suggested by Schuessler (2007) and the earlier Maspero (1912). The sound change resulting in thuồng (*C-r- > ‹th-›) can be seen in cases like tháng (“month”), thông (“river (Northeastern dialectal)”), thao (“star (Northeastern dialectal)”). Either way, doublet of rồng.
