#1723 PTB *kwaŋ PALATE / GUMS

This rather sparsely attested root has an apparently strange range of meaning, including both GUMS and PALATE, perhaps explicable by their common reddish color.

The second element of the Lahu compound cì‑qhɔ is a possible phonological descendant of this root, but is better assigned to #820 PTB *(g/k)uŋ HOLE / ORIFICE / INNER PART.

It seems likely that there is a connection between this root and #473 PTB *kwaŋ MOUTH.
