#1811 PTB *ʔ-bu ⪤ *pu BORN / BIRTH / BUD / BLOOM |
The basic meaning of this root seems to be ‘bloom, open up (as a flower), bud’, thence ‘give birth’. It is reconstructed in STC #260 as ‘open, bud’, with reflexes offered from WT, Nung, Jingpho, WB, and Karbi. The semantic connection between this root for ‘open, bloom’ and ‘bear a child’ was first suggested by W. T. French (1983:455), who reconstructs Proto-Northern Naga *ʔ‑bəw. STC reconstructs both voiceless- and voiced-initial allofams (*bu ⪤ *pu), which we can now interpret as reflecting a simplex/causative opposition (’bloom’ vs. ‘cause to bud’ [i.e. ‘give birth’]). A PLB reconstruction *ʔpu² (equivalent to *ʔbu²) is given in Matisoff 1988, The Dictionary of Lahu (p. 831), with the glottalization inferred from the very-low tone of the Lahu reflex pū. This reinforces French’s PNN reconstruction with *ʔ‑, as does the a-chung [ḥ] in the WT reflex (ḥbu). The Phom form bəʔ cited by French (loc. cit.) has been reanalyzed as belonging under #3480 PTB *(p/b)(i/u)k BORN / GIVE BIRTH [q.v.].
