卯 y Mão. Some dictionaries (such as Thiều Chửu's) consider it as Sino-Vietnamese, but the nặng tone in Mẹo is unlikely to be developed from the Middle Chinese rising tone and eo is unlikely to be a Sino-Vietnamese rhyme, compared to the likely tone and rhyme in vi Mão. See also vi Tí, vi Thìn, vi Ngọ, vi Mùi.
