Comments: For *dh- cf. Jianou thöŋ⁶. Also read *dhroŋ, MC ḍöuŋ, Mand. chóng, Sino-Viet. trùng 'be double, multiple' (for *dh- here cf. Fuzhou thüŋ²). The latter word is also borrowed in colloquial Viet. as chồng 'pile; to pile up' (the same meaning, going back to *'be double, multiple', is present in Chinese as well). Chin. *dhroŋʔ also meant ('to consider heavy' =) 'to attach importance, to esteem'; in the latter meaning Viet. had borrowed the Chinese word in the shape of chuộng.
