Chinese comparandum

Definitely cognate is the following:

帶 OC *tɑ̂d, GSR #315a ‘girdle, sash; carry at the girdle’; B & S 2011: *C.tˤat‑s {C.tˤa[t]‑s}; Mand. dài;

The modern word also means ‘zone; area’, e.g. 熱帶, Mand. rèdài, ‘torrid zone’).


^ 1.
The nasal prefix in Lolo-Burmese *N‑day³ is directly attested in several Yi dialects, as well as indirectly by the Lahu voiced initial.
