Etymology 2

From Proto-Vietic *mɔːlʔ (human being) (secondary borrowing from a Muong lect?); cognate with Muong mõl (human being).

Further origin uncertain:

  • Schuessler (2007: 391,392) proposes that Vietic *mɔːlʔ is cognate to Old Khmer jmol (male (of animals)) (⇒ Khmer ឈ្មោល (chmool)), Old Mon jmūr ~ jmur (male (elephant)), Semelai rəmɔːl (male) as well as Vietic *c-mɔːlʔ (digging stick); according to Schuessler, both "male" and "digging stick" derived from a stem represented in Khmu [script needed] (crmɔɔl, digging stick), [script needed] (cmɔ:l, to plant (rice) with digging stick), and Old Khmer cval (to enter, penetrate, (of animals) copulate)[1] (⇒ Khmer ចូល (coul)).
    • If so, from *čɑɑr "to dig, to delve"[2] (Ferlus, 1989-1990: 54-56). Compare also Vietnamese xoi (to bore, to perforate), xói, moi, mói (to delve, to dig out), which are this root's reflexes with back vowels.
  • However, Ferlus did not deem Vietnamese mọi and Muong mõl to be derivatives of *čaar; instead, he relates them to Khmu [script needed] (hmmaːl, soul) (Ferlus: 55);
    • If so, Proto-Vietic *mɔːlʔ (human being) would be a derivative of Proto-Mon-Khmer *smuul ~ smuəl ~ smaal ~ smal (shadow, soul) (Shorto, 2006: #1779); nevertheless, Shorto did not include Vietic items as this reflexes[3].
