General

The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections welcome. Malaysian names are now being updated. For consistency, Vietnamese bird names (except for ducks and chickens) are preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird'. Ornithological lists mostly omit this as understood. Hover over Green Lettering Green lettering at this site hides a tool tip with glosses, further explanations, etc. Hover cursor to reveal. to see additional information.

The Vietnamese word for 'cormorant' is Cốc.

The word Cốc also figures in a couple of other cormorant names: Cồng cộc (used in the south) and Thằng cộc (related to the names of the pelicans). One source lists the term Chim ý.
