Etymology

From Proto-Vietic, from Proto-Mon-Khmer *kʔik ~ *kʔiək ~ *kʔaik (armpit). Cognate with Tho kɛːk⁷ (uninfixed), Vietnamese nách (through a nasal infixed form), Khmer ក្លៀក (kliək) (through a lateral infixed form), Khmu klʔɛk (through a lateral infixed form), Mal kɛʔ (uninfixed).

Unlike Vietnamsee, which only maintains the infixed form nách, Mường Bi seems to keep both the uninfixed kéch and the infixed néch as synonyms.
