#3583 PTB *r/m-ba WAVE (in water) / RIPPLE

The nasal prefix is confirmed by the voiced initials in Lahu. The r‑ and d‑ prefixes are directly attested in Tibetan. It has been shown that the semantically mysterious r‑ prefix is reflected by a syllabic nasal in Jingpho (STC p. 109), indicating that the former is more ancient in TB as a whole. The d‑ in Tibetan is not paralleled elsewhere as far as is now known.
