#1643 PTB *m-dza-k LOVE

This etymon was reconstructed as PTB *m‑dza in STC #67, on the basis of forms from Written Tibetan, Jingpho, and Written Burmese (with a note that the Jingpho form actually ends in glottal stop, so that it “may be distinct”). There is in fact ample reason to set up both open-syllabled and stop-finalled allofams for this root: *m‑dza ⪤ *m‑dzak. The latter allofam is attested not only in Jingpho, but in Yi Nanhua (note the constricted vowel), and directly in NW rGyalrong (Qiangic group). The nasal prefix is directly reflected in WT, Yi (Dafang), and Jingpho.

The Hayu form has apparently acquired the -n suffix.
