Thai
Etymology
Borrowed from Angkorian Old Khmer *គ្លង៑ (*gloṅ), *ឃ្លង៑ (*ghloṅ, “passage, way; waterway”). Cognate with Northern Thai ᨣᩖᩬᨦ, ᨣᩬᨦ, Isan คลอง, คอง, Lao ຄອງ (khǭng), Lü ᦅᦸᧂ (koang). Also extended as Thai ครรลอง.
Schuessler (2007) relates this word to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kl(j)u(ŋ/k) (“river; valley”), whence 江 (OC *kroːŋ, “river”), 谷 (OC *kloːɡ, “valley”), Tibetan ཀླུང (klung, “river”), Burmese ချောင်း (hkyaung:, “stream”). STEDT notes that this does not account for the *-n coda.
