đất

From Proto-Vietic *tət (“water”).

đất

1. earth; soil; dirt

• Vietnamese: đất

• De Rhodes, Alexandre (1651), “đất”, Dictionarium Annamiticum Lusitanum et Latinum.

From Middle Vietnamese đất, from Proto-Vietic *tət. Cognate with Tho [Cuối Chăm] tʌt⁷.

The set comprised of Bahnar teh, Pacoh cuteq, Khmu pteʔ, Mang teː⁶, Mon တိ (tɔeˀ), Khmer ដី (dəy), etc. are most likely lookalikes, since Vietic has a *-t that can not be reconciled with the rest.
