Etymology

[edit]

Probably an Old Chinese transcription of an original Baiyue name, but folk etymologized as deriving from (Yǔ Háng, “Yu's ferry”).

Li (1995) considers (OC *la) to be derived from a Kra-Dai substrate word. Compare Proto-Tai *rɤjᴮ (dry field), whence Zhuang reih and Thai ไร่ (râi). Alternatively, Zhengzhang (1990) suggests it may be derived from Proto-Kam-Sui *ra (field; farmland), whence Southern Kam jav (/⁠ja⁵⁠/), Sui qxgas (/⁠ʔɣa⁵⁠/), Maonan yras (/⁠ʔja⁵⁠/). This element is also seen in 餘姚余姚 (Yúyáo).
