#1782 PTB *mwa ⪤ *mya-n SPIT / VOMIT

For now, the reflexes with back vowels are deemed to descend from *mwa, while those with front vowels are assumed to come from *mya‑n.

The Jingpho form seems to incorporate the nominalizing suffix *‑n. See HPTB:439-453. According to Dai 1983:515, there is a minimal pair between mǎ³³ jen³³ ‘tin’ and mǎ³³ je̠n³³ ‘spit’, with the latter showing constriction of the vowel of the full syllable. The latter form was interpreted in HPTB:115 as being due to a glottal prefix, i.e. Pre-Jingpho *məʔyen.
