Etymology 1
From Proto-Vietic *k-saŋ. Cognate with Muong thăng, Arem atʰaŋ, Thavung กะซัง.
Shorto (2006) traces Viet-Muong items' etymological origins to Proto-Mon-Khmer *sra(a)ŋ, but this can be dismissed as all Vietic cognates point to *-s-.
Usage notes
- răng is the only zoological body part that can be indicated by the classifier chiếc.
