#5442 PTB *(t)swa-y ⪤ *t(s)wa-y RUST / DROSS / STAIN / EXCREMENT

The initial consonant reflexes of this root vary between affricates, dental stop, and s‑, in a manner similar to #2742 PTB *(t)sum MORTAR.

Written Tibetan attests both the b‑ and g‑ prefixes.

Mizo has a doublet dai‑lêng ‘shit’ and tǔi‑êk ‘rust’, motivating the reconstruction of medial *‑w‑.
