Etymology

[edit]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Unlikely non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 羨 (“to envy”, SV: tiện) as suggested by Baxter & Sagart (2014).Alternatively, possibly non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 競 (“to compete”, SV: cạnh), thus making ghen a doublet of ganh (“to compete; to envy”) but from a Sinitic variety with coronal nasal coda (like đèn, which is considered non-Sino-Vietnamese reading of Chinese 燈 (SV: đăng)).”

Pronunciation
