Etymologically, this is a native item, yet usage of 蜂 indeed indicates a strong case of phono-semantic matching. As Vietnamese is predominantly a head-initial language, the terms ong mật (“honeybee”) and mật ong (“honey”) could (at least, hypothetically) be spelled 蜂蜜 and 蜜蜂 respectively, creating double pairs of false friends with Chinese (Chinese 蜂蜜 (fēngmì, “honey”) and 蜜蜂 (mìfēng, “honeybee”)). ==== Derived terms ====
