#1610 PTB *s-ŋa EGG / HATCH

This root is confined to Tibetan, where it always seems to occur in binomes after reflexes of #305 PTB *s/r‑gwa‑ŋ EGG / TESTICLE. It also appears in Qiangic, although these forms look like loans from Tibetan.

The first syllable of WT sgo‑pur ‘foreskin (vulg.)’ does not appear to descend from this etymon, but seems rather to mean ‘door; aperture, outlet’. However, Jäschke does not include this under compounds with sgo ‘door’ (114-6), but rather lists it as a separate head-entry (p. 116). The meaning of the second syllable ‑pur is unclear, though there might be a connection with ḥp'ur‑ba ‘wrap up, envelop’.
