#12 PTB *rwa(ŋ/k) BODY / CORPSE |
A number of languages in Eastern Nepal have developed final labials in this root, also showing alternation between final stop and nasal: *rwam ⪤ *rwap. We regard these forms as secondary, due most likely to assimilation of the final to the labial glide.
It is possible that Karbi rèng‑ ‘die / be dead’ and Dumi rəŋ gəliːm ‘soul / the disincarnate spirit of a dead person’ are also somehow related, perhaps reflecting an allofam like *ryaŋ.
Also to be compared to this root is #1801 PTB *s‑lwaŋ BODY / CORPSE / DISCARDED OBJECT with lateral initial.
