Etymology

From Middle Vietnamese gió, from Proto-Vietic *k-jɔːʔ ~ *kʰjɔːʔ, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *kjaal. Cognate with Muong xỏ, Arem kajɑːʔ, Pacoh cudyial, Khmer ខ្យល់ (khyɑl), Bahnar kial and Santali ᱦᱚᱭ (hôy).

Attested in Phật thuyết đại báo phụ mẫu ân trọng kinh (佛說大報父母恩重經) as 𪬪, composed of (MC kaH) + (MC yuX) (modern SV: ), and (MC yuX) (modern SV: ). Attested in the Annan Jishi (安南即事, 13th century) as (MC kaewH) (compare the Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese readings of the character).

The rime of the Vietic and Munda forms (with back, rounded vowel) does not really match with the rest of Austroasiatic (which has *-aːl) and is probably one of the few identifiable Vieto-Munda isoglosses. Compare Juang kojo, Chut kəjɔː³ vs. Old Mon kyāl, Talieng kjaːl.
