#5740 PTB *s-nam GOOD |
So far this root has been found mostly in Bodo-Garo, with good cognates in Ao (Central Naga) and Nungish. This root has some resemblance to #660 PTB *s‑na GOOD, but should probably be considered as quite separate.
The *s‑ prefix is implied by the Bodo forms with initial h‑, as well as by the pre-glottalization in the Anong form.
