Etymology
Recorded in the Book of the Later Han, where it was described as a product of the Gouding kingdom in China's south. Ji Han (嵇含, died 307 CE), the author of Nanfang Caomu Zhuang (“Plants of the Southern Regions”), says: : Inside the bark there is a dust resembling flour, sometimes as much as several hu (斛 (hú)). When eaten it is just like ordinary flour. This word was borrowed from a Kra-Dai language (Li, 2002). Compare Proto-Kra-Dai *klaŋ > Zhuang go'gvang (“palm tree”, go: plant prefix), Bouyei faixguangl (“palm tree”) (idem).
