#237 PTB *g-ra-t BONE

There are several Tujia forms with initial velar (e.g. si³lu¹ga¹ ‘pig’s bone’, lu¹ga¹ ‘bone’), which might belong to this root, if we assume preemption by the prefix. On the other hand, we are considering the Bai forms to descend from this etymon on the strength of the ‑w‑ medial.

Jingpho has developed a nasal prefix with this root.

Chinese comparandum

呂 / 吕 OC *gli̯o, GSR #76a-c ‘spine; pitchpipe’; Schuessler 2007:367 *raʔ; B & S 2011: *raʔ {[r]aʔ}; Mand. .
梠 OC *gli̯o, GSR #76e-f ‘beam supporting rafters of a roof’; Schuessler 2007:367 *raʔ; B & S 2011: (*raʔ {[r]aʔ}); Mand. .
旅 OC *gli̯o, GSR #77a ‘arrange in a series; one after another; troops, multitude’; Schuessler 2007:367 *raʔ; B & S 2011: *raʔ {[r]aʔ}; Mand. .

Comment: The etymon above glossed ‘arrange in a series...’, etc. is apparently the earliest to be associated with the graph 旅 in Chinese. The same graph, 旅, was later borrowed to represent another, unrelated etymon glossed ‘guest, stranger, ... lodging’, which is also a comparandum for #5531 PTB *d‑gra STRANGER / ENEMY.

Note that the graph 膂 (GSR #77e), Mand. , is essentially the same etymon as 旅, with the same OC reconstruction.
