STEDT Etymon #1154

This etymon is fairly well attested in TB as a whole, especially in Himalayish and Chin, but also in Lolo-Burmese (Burmese), and Qiangic (rGyalrong). Judging from the Burmese gloss in Judson 1893/1966, it seems to be connected with the notion of piercing or penetrating.

The allofam with final ‑k is attested not only in the Form-II of verbs in several Chin languages, but also in Chepang. The Form-I of Chin verbs, as well as the Kiranti and Burmese forms, reflect the open-syllable allofam.

Khaling has ‑e where other Kiranti languages have ‑u in at least two other roots: COME/BRING DOWN Hayu ju(t)‑, Bahing ju(t)‑, Kulung yuw‑, yutt‑; but Khaling ye(n)‑. STEAL Hayu khu(t)‑, Bahing ku(s)‑, Thulung khu‑, Kulung kuss‑; but Khaling khe‑. See Michailovsky 1991, Proto-Kiranti, pp. 15, 34.

^ 2.

This Akha reflex is to be referred to the present etymon, rather than to #1284 PTB *m‑ley ⪤ *m‑li PENIS, since Akha ‑oe is the regular reflex of PTB *‑əw (e.g. STEAL *r‑kəw > Akha k'oe˯ ; WEEP *ŋəw > Ak. ngoeˇ). For the Akha reflex of PLB *r‑lik ‘testicle’, see leh˰, above #1286 PTB *r‑lik TESTICLE / EGG / PENIS. See also the note on Akha beuˆ leuˆ ‘penis (polite)’, above #1284 PTB *m‑ley ⪤ *m‑li PENIS.
