Khmer[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- ព្រឹល (prɨl)
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Mon-Khmer *pril ~ *priəl (“hail”). Cognate with Bahnar prĕl (“ice”), Pacoh pareal, Pnar phria, Parauk pre:, Santali ᱟᱨᱮᱞ (arel).
This Austroasiatic term has two variants, one with -r-l (represented by Khmer and the likes) and one with -l-r (represented by Khmu [Cuang] pliər, Mon ပၠဳ, Proto-Vietic *p-lɛːr). It is likely that the *prVl form is more original and the *plVr form was derived from metathesis.
