#5405 PBod *l-ta-s/t LOOK

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

WT reflects three allofamic variants: an open syllable as well as forms with both the *‑t and *‑s suffixes.

This root seems restricted to Tibetan dialects and the Kiranti languages, with the latter forms likely borrowings from the former.

Possible allofam of #1408 PTB *s‑ta‑s*ta‑n HEAR.
