Etymology 3

 * this is the Northern form., earlier the common form and later the Southern form.

This form is probably a rather late innovation in the Northern region, displaced in the Northern dialects:
 * bản as the Sino-Vietnamese reading of is attested once (as ) in the Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum, a dictionary chiefly based on the Northern dialects, while  is attested thrice (in, , ).
 * The expected Sino-Vietnamese reflex for this rime is, cf. < ,  < ,  <.
 * In early Nôm texts (which are all of clear Northern origin), was used as a phonogram or as the phonetic in phono-semantograms to write the native Vietnamese word, whose vocalism value is stable throughout its development from Proto-Vietic to Modern Vietnamese.
