==Vietnamese==

===Pronunciation===
{{vi-IPA}}
* {{homophone|vi|giâu}}, {{vi-l|râu}}

===Etymology 1===
From {{inh|vi|mkh-vie-pro|*-toː}}. Cognate with {{cog|mtq|tô}}, {{cog|tou|-}} [Cuối Chăm] ''tɔː¹''. Compare North Central {{cog|vi|đâu}}. 

Compare also a {{m|vi|tên chữ||literary name}} of the [[:w:Dâu Temple|''Dâu'' temple]], {{m|vi|Cổ Châu}}, spelled as {{m|vi|古珠}} or {{m|vi|古洲}} (the first grapheme is to be read with velar stop, and both second graphemes are to be read with a dental stop and back rounded vowel in Old Chinese), which suggests the presyllable {{IPAfont|*k-}}.

# {{lb|vi|by extension}} [[strawberry]]
#: {{syn|vi|dâu tây|lit=western mulberry}}

=====Usage notes=====
* Thanks to the popularity of strawberry as a flavor in foods and drinks, ''dâu'' is more frequently understood nowadays as "strawberry" than its original meaning, "mulberry". For example, {{m|vi||vị dâu}} will most likely be "strawberry-flavored" rather than "mulberry-flavored".
