#3257 PTB *wyat TWIST / TURN

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

Lahu ɔ̀‑vɛ̀ʔ ‘screw’ is not from this root, but is rather a borrowing from Modern Burmese wɛʔ⁴⁴ ‘pig’ (cf. WB wak ‘pig’), which occurs in the Burmese compound wɛʔ⁴⁴ u²² ‘pig intestine; screw’, the semantic link residing in the curly, twisted appearance of pig intestines. The true Lahu reflex is vɔ̀ʔ ~ g̈ɔ̀ʔ ‘twist (as fringes)’.
