whistle, to produce a whistling sound
Etymology
1. Inherited from Proto-Austroasiatic *huəcʔ (“to whistle”) (Sidwell, 2024). Cognate with Koho hoac, Bahnar hôch, Khmer ហួច (huəc).
2. Sidwell's suggestion is potentially dubious. In his cognate list, PAA *uə mostly corresponds to Vietic *o or *ɔ. Vietnamese hót is more likely than huýt to be the word that is directly inherited from *huəcʔ. See: Khmer, Central 'ហួច', Vietnamese '
hót'.
