#498 PTB *s(y)a(m/ŋ) THROAT |
This sparsely attested root, which in TB languages refers to the neck, seems to be distinct from #66 PTB *s(y)am‑s BREATH / LUNG / SPIRIT / VOICE / HEART, whose semantic center of gravity is more abstract.
The putative Chinese comparandum, however, has a more “internal” meaning, referring to the voice or throat. Cf. Mandarin sǎngzi ‘voice’, which occurs neither in GSR 704 nor in Baxter’s system, so that it probably has no early attestation. By analogy with sāng ‘mulberry’, which is in both sources, it would be reconstructed *sɑ̂ng by Karlgren and *sangʔ by Baxter.
