#2256 PTB *s-gywa(n/t) WEAR / PUT ON / CLOTHE

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

All the forms cited here were put into the same etymon for the first time in HPTB:333-334.

The alternation between homorganic nasal and stop in this root is well-attested. Note the complex word family in WT. There is a good Chinese comparandum.

The Qiangic (including Tangut) forms show the expected “brightening” of the vowel to ‑i.
