#2312 PTB *kyiːn ⪤ *tsyiːn WEIGH

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

This root shows variation between a palatalized velar and a palatalized dental affricate initial. Note the variant Jingpho forms.

In this case, both Written Burmese and Mizo unambiguously reflect a long vowel (*‑in > WB ‑añ, while *‑iːn > WB ‑in). See HPTB:277.
