#528 PTB *bryam ⪤ *brim NAVEL / UMBILICAL CORD

This etymon is mostly confined to Himalayish, though there is an excellent Moyon cognate. The initial labial stop may be a reduction of one of several etyma for ‘belly’ that begin with a labial (probably #164 PTB *d‑puːk BELLY / VITALS / HOLLOW OBJECT / CAVE), as illustrated by the disyllabic Moyon doublet and the Lepcha form, so that this root should perhaps be reconstructed *b‑ryam ⪤ *b‑rim.

This etymon seems to be quite independent from #193 PTB *bliŋ STRING / THREAD / CORD.
