#6003 PTB *laŋ RAINBOW |
This root seems to be fairly widely distributed across subgroups, although with scant attestation in each. There is some slight evidence for an *s‑ prefix (Achang [Xiandao] l̥ɿ⁵⁵ɲ̊ɔʔ⁵⁵l̥aŋ³¹kam⁵⁵).
At first glance, Bodo zay klóŋ ‘rainbow’ seems to reflect a velar prefix with this root, but it is at least equally probable that the second syllable actually means ‘bridge’ (cf. Bodo sayklóŋ), the semantic association residing in the arched appearance of the rainbow.
