#3434 PTB *ʔa HATCH / LAY EGG |
This beautifully minimalist root (minimal both from the point of view of its phonological shape and the paucity of languages in which it is attested) seems unimpeachable, occurring both in the NE Indian Areal Group and Loloish with exactly the same meaning.
This root was first reconstructed in Matisoff 1997, “Primary and secondary laryngeal initials in Tibeto-Burman”.
