Etymology
The first syllable is from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g-la(ŋ/k) (“falcon, vulture, eagle, kite, hawk, bird of prey”), which is likely a loan from Proto-Mon-Khmer *laŋ ~ *laaŋ ~ *laiŋ (“large raptor”). Compare Mon လနေၚ် (“kite”), Khmer ខ្លែង (khlaeng, “kite”). (Benedict, 1972; STEDT).
Cognate to Jingpho gəlaŋ (“eagle, kite, hawk”), Jingpho lang (“bird of the falcon family”), Mianchi Southern Qiang là (“kite, hawk”) and Mianchi Southern Qiang lá (“eagle, vulture”). Possibly connected to Chinese 鷹／鹰 (yīng, “eagle”) (Benedict, 1990; Schuessler, 2007).
