vác

Etymology
.

Noun

 * 1) quack!

Etymology
Probably a loanword from a neighboring language, potentially even from a  language. Compare Toum baːk⁷ ("to carry on shoulder"), 🇨🇬 beːk, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 baʔ ("to carry child in a cloth on one's back"), 🇨🇬 baʔ ("to carry on back"). Khasian, Bahnaric, Katuic and other Vietic languages all point to the implosive *ɓ-, from which the Vietnamese form cannot be derived from through regular sound changes (the expected form would be *mác instead).

Compare also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (B-S), 🇨🇬.

Verb

 * 1) to carry (on shoulder)
