nghìn

Etymology
Attested in Phật thuyết đại báo phụ mẫu ân trọng kinh (佛說大報父母恩重經) as (the first element is to be read with lateral ) and, phonetic  (modern SV: ). Compare 🇨🇬.

Sometimes connected to  (B-S) (SV: ), through some variant form. However, the attested lateral presyllable made this connection difficult. 🇨🇬 (whence 🇨🇬), although having the lateral presyllable, also can not be readily connected to the Vietnamese word, due to the completely mismatched final nasal.
