#434 PTB *s/ʔ-n(w)ay COHESIVE / STICKY / ELASTIC |
A glottal stop prefix is exceptionally reconstructed for this root at the PTB level, because of the pre-glottalized nasals in the Jingpho forms. (To reconstruct the *s‑ prefix here would be anomalous, since that prefix regularly gives Jingpho šə‑ ~ džə‑.)
This etymon definitely seems related to #2493 PTB *m/s‑naːy TWIST / KNEAD / SOFTEN.
