#3458 PTB *s-lwaŋ BREAST

This root appears mainly in Southern Loloish. It is reconstructed as PLB *loŋ² in Bradley 1979, #119A. The putative Womatu (Kuki-Chin) cognate with voiceless lateral leads me to reconstruct this etymon as *s‑loŋ at the PTB level. This etymon bears some resemblance to *b‑raŋ CHEST, but we are keeping them separate for now, despite the similarity between, e.g. WB raŋ‑pat ‘chest’ and Bisu lɔŋ‑pɛ́t ‘breast’, where the second syllables are both assigned to #3463 PTB *b(y)at BREAST / CHEST.
