#1609 PTB *m/s-tow EGG

This etymon appears in the NE Indian Areal Group (Idu), Loloish, and Qiangic, and looks safe to set up for PTB. There is evidence for both a nasal (Loloish) and a sibilant (Qiangic) prefix.

Comparison with other Qiangic forms indicates that the final ‑s in Yadu is a truncated verson of stə or stu. This apocopation of the vowel of second elements in compounds is characteristic of Qiangic. See Benedict (1983), “Qiang monosyllabization: a third phase in the cycle” (LTBA 7.2:113-4).
