Luce compares the word to Old Chinese匠 (OC *sbaŋs, “artisan”), based on a reconstructed pronunciation *dzyaŋ;[1] however, newer reconstructions of the Old Chinese pronunciation as *s.baŋ-s make this doubtful (though said reconstructions seem to be still under debate). See also Khmerចាំង(cang, “to cut, chisel”).
