Reconstruction:Proto-Vietic/kɔːʔ

Etymology
Schuessler (2007) compares this to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, while Diffloth (1992) proposed Vietic and Aslian forms such as 🇨🇬 weʔ, 🇨🇬 wɔːʔ (for correspondence between Vietic *k vs. zero-initial in other Austroasiatic languages, see , , ). Neither is particularly likely.
