#1645 PTB *kri(k/ŋ) LOVE / COPULATE

This root is well attested in the NE Indian Areal Group and Burmish, with an excellent cognate in Written Tibetan. The correspondence of WT ‑ig to WB ‑ac is perfectly regular. (Cf. HPTB pp. 343-348). The Maring form points to an allofam with final nasal.

Jäschke (p. 61) notes that this word is “the usual, not exactly obscene, yet not euphemistic term for it”. It also has the non-sexual meanings ‘cohere, stick together’ and ‘be cloudy, overcast (of the sky)’.
