| comment | Probably 'child' > 'fruit' > 'round object'. From Proto-Tai *lɯ:kᴰ 'child (offspring)'. Cognate with Lao lūk (ລູກ), Lü luuk (ᦟᦴᧅ), Shan lūk (လုၵ်ႈ), Tai Nüa luk (ᥘᥧᥐ), Bouyei leg, Zhuang lwg. Within Kra-Dai, compare Sui laag 'son', Proto-Hlai *hlɯːk 'child; offspring' and Proto-Be *ləːkᴰ² 'child; offspring' |
