This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “The *p.laːɲ in the paper about the Phong Nha dialect is just the authors doing a doozy. The various forms probably point to *C-r- (*C being a placeholder consonant). Due to paucity of data, there's no extra-Vietnamese cognate that I'm aware of, so I have no idea where the *p came from.”
