Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Not mentioned at all by Ratliff. The proto-form would be something like *qru̯eiᶜ, which doesn't sound similar to "hatch" words in any neighboring language. The closest correspondence seems to be Old Chinese 卵 (OC *ɡ·roːlʔ, *ɡ·roːnʔ, “egg, ovum”); maybe the Hmongic term is a derivative of this, or perhaps it's native Hmongic? Or it's native Hmongic, but shares a common root with 卵?”

Pronunciation

[edit]

Verb

[edit]

daug

  1. to hatch (of an egg, etc.)
    Lub qe daug. ― The egg hatches.
