English meaning : to make long, stretch, string
Russian meaning[s]: 1) натягивать (лук); напрягать; растягивать; расстилать, развертывать; 2) раскрывать, разинуть (рот); 3) большой; увеличивать, расширять; преувеличивать, хвастать; 4) организовать; поставить; установить (силки); 5) смотреть, глазеть; 6) лист (бумаги); счетный суффикс предметов с широкой поверхностью; 7) Чжан (фамилия); [zhàng] 1) устроить; установить; предложить; 2) раздуваться; вздутый живот, вм. 脹
Comments: Regular Sino-Viet. is tru'o'ng. Cf. perhaps also Viet. giăng 'to spread, stretch', giu'o'ng 'to spread' (although the gi-reflex is rather strange here). A rather late semantic development in Chin. is 'smth. spread out' > 'sheet (of paper), page' - hence Viet. tru'o'ng, trang 'page'.
