#3492 PTB *pwak SCROTUM

This root has only been found in a few languages, two Himalayish (Dumi, Tamang) and one Qiangic (rGyalrong), though the phonological and semantic fit among them is excellent. See TBRS #121.

There is a probably fortuitous resemblance between this root and #3426 PTB *pwat PENIS.

This root was reconstructed as *pok in TBRS: #121.
