#1223 PTB *du HEAD

This root seems quite distinct from #359 PTB *tuk ⪤ *twak HEAD / SKULL / NECK. It occurs frequently as the second element in Loloish compounds. Note that the Jingpho form previously transcribed as du is inaccurate: the correct form is dùʔ, so that it is correctly assigned to #359 PTB *tuk ⪤ *twak HEAD / SKULL / NECK.
