Cay has been borrowed from French caille in order to ornithologically distinguish the phasianid quails (Cay) from the turnicid quails, which have been assigned the traditional quail name of Cun cút.

Most of the partridges have distinctive whistling calls, but siul (also mersiul) 'whistler' became an early ornithological species-name for Rollulus roulroul alone. An effort was made (24, 25) to insert siul into the names for most birds called 'partridges' in English. However, in more recent phasianid names siul is once again restricted to Rollulus roulroul.

Bertam palms (Eugeissona tristis) are economically useful, and the Malay name bertam has been borrowed into English. Bertam forms a dense thorny thicket which provides food and shelter for wildlife.

Beroga (written variously as beroga, biruga, borga, and burga) is used with ayam 'fowl/chicken' as an alternate name for 'junglefowl'.

Kuang is an onomatopoetic rendition of the call of Argusianus argus and generally came to be used in the names of the arguses and peacock-pheasants.
In Malaysian only, kuang has been extended to include any pheasant and is now the usual Malaysian translation for English 'pheasant'.

Pegar (written variously as pegar or begar) is an old name for crested fireback pheasant and can occur either with burung or ayam. Ayam Pegar 'crestedfireback fowl/chicken' has recently been suggested (28) as a genus-name for Lophura.

The 鸞 / 鸾 luán, Japanese 鸞 ran, is a mythical Chinese bird similar to the phoenix.

孔雀 kǒngquè is an ancient name that is only partly analysable. 孔 has many meanings, including 'hole', 'cave' (modern dialect), 'beautiful', and 'splendid', as well as being the surname of Confucius. Whatever the original meaning, here it is simply part of the bird's name. 雀 què originally meant 'sparrow' but is now used in the names of all kinds of small birds, notably finches. Its use in the name of such a large bird is anomalous from the point of view of modern usage.
