Chinese comparandum

髮 OC *pi̯wɑ̆t ‘head hair ‘GSR #276i; Li 1971: *pjat; Baxter 1992 #997: *pjot; B & S 2011: --; Schuessler 2007:228-9; Mand. fǎ, fà.

胈 OC *pwɑ̂t ‘small hairs on body’ GSR #276f; Li 1971: (*bat); Baxter 1992: (*bat); B & S 2011: --; Schuessler 2007:228-9; Mand. .

The Chinese and Yakha forms suggest a possible allofam *pwat.

ZJH: The OC vowel might be either *a or *o; with a labial initial and dental coda, the developments to Middle Chinese are identical, making it difficult to determine the OC vowel with certainty. However, either reconstruction is problematic for a comparison with PTB *u. OC *o does sometimes correspond to Tibetan u, but only in open syllables (where we find Burmese uiw, as in the well-known words for ‘steal’: 寇 OC *kʰˤo‑s; WT rku; WB khuiw; Mand. kòu), and before velars (where we find Burmese o, as in ‘torch, light, flame’: 燭 OC *tok; WT dugs; WB tok; Mand. zhú). There is no evidence for anything other than a coda *‑t in Chinese, and no evidence for any kind of stop coda in the TB reflexes; the makes both the vowel and the coda problematic for cognacy. An internal Chinese derivation from 發 ‘come out; emit’ (Mand. ) is also possible for these Chinese words (Schuessler 2007:228-9).

A comparison of the Chinese to WT phud ‘hair-knot’ is tempting given the dental coda, but OC *o does not correspond to Tibetan u before dentals.
