#5375 PTB *r-tsaːl VEGETABLE

This root is reconstructed with a final lateral on the testimony of Written Tibetan. There is a closely similar comparandum in Chinese 菜 ts'âi', although Karlgren (1923) only gives a Middle Chinese form. The Qiangic, Tujia, Baic, and Loloish forms may well be borrowings from either Tibetan or Chinese, although the Mizo form seems to reflect a genuine TB root.

Lahu ‑chî was previously identified (cf. DL:221) with the verb chî ‘to lift up, exalt’ since curries or vegetable dishes ‘lift up’ the taste of plain rice; most Lahu consultants endorse this analysis), but Akha has both tjhì [ILH] ‘lift up’ and tshɛ̀ ‘food (except rice)’, which might indicate that two separate morphemes are involved (cf. #152 PTB *kyi LIFT / RAISE / AWAKE).

This is really a Middle Chinese form.
