This morpheme was extensively attested written with the phonogram in Nôm texts, however, it already fell into disuse for some time before the colonial period.

Because of the fact that it is already mostly obsolete before the wide adoption of the Latin script, in modern romanization of Nôm texts, the phonogram is also commonly transliterated as *cốc, probably based on the Sino-Vietnamese reading  of the grapheme; however, there is little direct evidence that this is closer to actual pronunciation of the word when it was in use.

Verb
