köken: Most likely a loanword. Its source is unclear; compare Middle Chinese 侹 (MC thengH) "long, level, straight (obsolete)" → SV: thính. See also bằng. The native Vietic word for "straight" is ngay, which also has Khmuic cognates. It is a semantic loan from English straight, in the sense of “heterosexual”.
