Inherited from Proto-Southwestern Tai *tʰɤŋᴬ¹ (“to arrive; to reach”) (Pittayaporn, 2008), from Proto-Tai *C̬.tɤŋᴬ (“to arrive”). Cognate with Northern Thai ᨳᩮᩥ᩠ᨦ, Lao ເຖິງ (thœng), Shan ထိုင် (thǔeng), Ahom 𑜌𑜢𑜤𑜂𑜫 (thüṅ), Zhuang daengz. Within Kra-Dai, compare Sui dangl and Lingao [ɗɔŋ¹]. Compare also Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *dateŋ (whence Malay datang, Tagalog dating). Borrowed from Teochew 燙 /烫 (teng3, “hot; to heat up”).
