#1221 PTB *k-lu HEAD

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

PKC *luu HEAD
PKar *kləɁᴰ HEAD

Many languages (e.g. in the Chin group) reflect the simple form *lu. Other languages (e.g. Chang, Lotha, Naxi) show disyllabic forms, which are plausibly analyzed as sequences of #386 PTB *m/s‑gaw HEAD and #1221 PTB *k‑lu HEAD. In still other languages (e.g. Camling, Dumi, Milang), these two syllables have been compressed into one. For our present purposes, we are treating the latter two cases as reflecting the monosyllabized root, whether or not they are presently disyllabic.

The forms assigned to this root are distinct from Qiangic and Burmish compounds for HEAD where the last element descends from #690 PTB *s‑lum ROUND.

This etymon is perhaps related to #11 PTB *lu‑s BODY and/or to WB lu ‘person’ .
