#5481 PTB *p-wap LUNG

The initial *pr‑ cluster in Khaling seems to be a fusion of #5737 PTB *pwar LUNG with wap. The Padam-Mising form also looks like a fusion of these two morphemes, with its syllable initial r‑ from *pwar, and the proto-sequence *wap becoming the rhyme ‑op.

The final dental in the Chinese comparandum might be due to labial dissimilation from the initial, as in “wind (n.)” 風, which is reconstructed as *pi̯ŭm for Old Chinese, but which became pi̯ung by the Middle Chinese period. Another explanation is that this Chinese word is under the qusheng (Tone “C”), which arose, according to Haudricourt’s famous theory, through the influence of an *‑s suffix, that could have favored the assimilation of a final labial to apical position.
