#207 PTB *m-k(y)un BACK / KIDNEY

This root is reconstructed as *m‑glun (HPTB 73, 125, 198), largely because of the voiced initial in the OC comparanda *d̑i̯ĕn and *di̯ən (GSR #368h ‘kidney’ and #450h-i ‘small of the back’). On the TB level, however, it now seems best to reconstruct it with a voiceless root initial.
