#5140 PTB *wut COLD / CHILLY

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

This root is so far best established for PKC, but there is a promising Tujia comparandum.

This etymon bears some resemblance to #3554 PTB *s‑pʷal SNOW / ICE / FROST / HAIL, although they seem quite separate.

The Tibetan (Alike) form wat looks like this root, but the final ‑t is evidently the reflex of Proto-Bodic ‑l (cf. Tibetan (Amdo, Xiahe) wal).
