Vietnamese
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Vietic *ʔɔːŋ (“honey bee”), from Proto-Austroasiatic *ʔɔːŋ (“wasp; hornet”). Cognate with Thavung ออง (“wasp”), Pacoh hong (“large bee, wasp”), Bahnar ong (“wasp”), Khmu ʔɔːŋ ("wasp"), Mon ဟိုၚ် (hang, “hornet”), Semelai hɔŋ ("hornet").
Attested as Northern Middle Vietnamese ao᷃ in Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum (1651).

Graphical notes
- This term was commonly spelled with two different graphs in Nôm texts: 螉 and 蜂 (with a few other graphs occured in lower frequency). Etymologically, this is a native item, yet usage of 蜂 indeed indicates a strong case of phono-semantic matching. As Vietnamese is predominantly a head-initial language, the terms ong mật (“honeybee”) and mật ong (“honey”) could (at least, hypothetically) be spelled 蜂蜜 and 蜜蜂 respectively, creating double pairs of false friends with Chinese (Chinese 蜂蜜 (fēngmì, “honey”) and 蜜蜂 (mìfēng, “honeybee”)).
