#3411 PTB *tsyi-k WINDPIPE / ADAM'S APPLE

This etymon appears similar to #3559 PTB *dzəy SEED / TESTICLE / ROUND OBJECT, as suggested by the WB compound WB lañ‑ceʼ ‘larynx’ (lit. ‘neck seed’).

On the other hand, several languages have distinct reflexes of these two roots, e.g. Chokri tsa ‘seed’ vs. (u) ru¹¹ che³⁵ ‘windpipe/trachea’, and nor Darang tɑ³¹ piɑi⁵⁵ ‘seed’ vs. shig‑ceig ‘windpipe’, so that it seems best to keep them separate.
