別 OC *pi̯ɑt, GSR #292a ‘divide, separate’; Li 1971: *pjiat; Baxter 1992: *prjat; Mand. bié.
There is a related Chinese word with voiced initial, GSR *b’i̯ɑt (ibid.), also written 別, meaning ‘to be different’. This voicing alternation is a common Old Chinese morphological process seen in transitive/intransitive verb pairs. Although the TB etymon also has a voicing alternation, this is likely to be an independent phenomenon.
The Chinese and PTB forms correspond perfectly. This cognate set has been proposed by Gong (1995 #209). Gong 2001 reconstructs the intransitive Chinese verb as *N‑brjat > *brjat and the transitive counterpart as *s‑brjat > *s‑prjat > *prjat.
列 OC *li̯ɑt, GSR #291a ‘divide, distribute, arrange, rank’; Li 1971: *ljat; Baxter 1992: *C‑rjat; Mand. liè.
裂 OC *li̯ɑt, GSR #291f ‘tear asunder, divide’; Li 1971: *ljat; Baxter 1992: *C‑rjat; Mand. liè.
These two homophonous Chinese words are clearly related. Gong (2001) relates 裂 liè to the two words written with 別 bié, while Schuessler (2007:167) says that 別 bié is probably cognate to 列 liè.2 Gong reconstructs 裂 liè as *brjat > *rjat, treating it as the root from which the two words written with 別 bié are derived.
On Baxter’s *C‑r‑, see the discussion under #3438 PTB *(r/l)um EGG. The relationship to 別 bié suggests that in Baxter’s reconstruction the consonant represented by *C would most likely be reconstructed as *b.
