#43 PTB *ni LEAN (MEAT)

The Nusu voiceless nasals point to an ʔ‑ prefix at the PLB stage. The Lahu mid tone is also compatible with the glottal prefix.

It has been suggested that there is a connection between this root and #2499 PTB *r‑ni RED, since lean meat has a red appearance due to the lack of fat marbling, but this remains to be seen.
