Non-Sino-Vietnamese reading ofChinese舞(SV:vũ). Cognate withChut [Rục]kumúa.
This item was borrowed sometime after the OC stage, when the rime had already shifted (based on the Chứt lemma, which still preserves the trace of OC pre-initial *k- according to BS, the timing of the borrowing wouldn't have been very far off). For a similar case of borrowing, comparebúa.

1963, Xuân Quỳnh, “Ghét [Hate]”, inChồi biếc [Green Buds]:Và từ sau hôm đó
Họ sánh bước bên nhau
Anh cúi sát mái đầu
Cùng người yêu anh nói:
“Nếu anh có con gái
Nó sẽmúa như em”
Cô mỉm cười tiếp thêm:
“Trai, em cho học nhạc”- Since that day
They’re always together
He bows near her head
And tells her:
“If I have a girl
She will dance like you”
She smiles and follows:
“If it’s a boy, he’ll be a musician”
- nhảy(“to dance for entertainment, usually incorporate a wider variety of body movements”)
