#531 PTB *s/ʔ-yuk DESCEND

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

Jingpho illustrates both the *s‑ and the *ʔ‑ prefix, which motivates our unusual PTB reconstruction with either prefix.

There is a possible allofamic relationship between this root and #2804 PTB *zak DESCEND. If this is true, it would be another example of the unusual alternation between medial *‑u‑ and *‑a‑ to be found in #1417 PTB *b‑s(u/a)ŋ SMELL / SCENT / FRAGRANT.
