#3476 PTB *duk ⪤ *tu LOVE / DESIRE / WANT

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

This etymon is well-attested in the NE Indian Areal Group, with good-looking cognates in Himalayish and Loloish. Two allofams should be reconstructed, one with and one without final *‑k. The Idu and Loloish forms point to an allofam with *voiceless initial, while the Moyon form reflects an evidently secondary nasal prefix.
