As this word appeared in texts about ancient Eastern Yue (now Min) area and Chen Zan remarked that it was a Wu-Yue word, Schuessler (2007) speculates that it has Austroasiatic origin, comparing it to Wa-Lawa-Bulang *rah "rapids, waterfall" & Old Khmerrat(“to move swiftly, to run”), possibly derived from a root meaning "swift". Proto-Min*l̥aiꟲ is identical to Proto-Tai*hla:iᴮ¹.
