#601 PTB *m/s-tuːk SPIT

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

STC suggests a connection between this root and #1799 PTB *twak BITE / CHEW / PECK AT / HOOK ONTO, a key form being Karbi iŋ‑tok ‘to spit, dart, peck, bite (as a snake), spittle’. For now, however, we are treating #1799 PTB *twak BITE / CHEW / PECK AT / HOOK ONTO as a separate etymon.

Also see #5960 PTQ *m‑s‑tya(t/k) SALIVA / SPIT, a likely allofam.
