#6133 PTB *(p/b)aːy LAME / LIMP / ASKEW |
W.T. French 1983:503 reconstructs Proto Northern Naga *baːy with the meaning JUMP, clearly a related notion to LAME / LIMP in the sense that special movements of the lower limbs are involved.
This etymon is certainly co-allofamic with #2154 PTB *b(w)ay LEFT (HAND), via a set of semantic associations familiar from Western languages, where left-handedness has been regarded as “gauche” or “sinister”.

The following set of Chinese etyma is offered on the basis of discussion in Schuessler 2007:158-9, 170-71 et pass; (also see Matisoff 1995: ST Palatal Suffixes Revisited). These etyma can be considered allofams within Chinese, as well as primary comparanda for PTB *(p/b)aːy on both phonological and semantic grounds:
跛 OC *pwɑ̂, GSR #25m ‘walk lame’; Schuessler 2007:171 *pâiʔ; B & S 2011: *pˁajʔ; Mand. bǒ.
頗 OC *p’wɑ̂, GSR #25p ‘slanting, oblique, perverse’; Schuessler 2007:158 *phâi; Mand. pō.
坡 OC (*p’wɑ̂), (not in GSR #25) ‘slope, slanted’; Schuessler 2007:158 *phâi; Mand. pō.
陂 OC *piɑ, GSR #25i ‘river bank, dike’; Schuessler 2007: *pai; B & S 2011: *paj {p(r)a[j]}; Mand. bēi, bī.
詖 OC *piɑ, GSR #25h ‘biased, insincere’; Schuessler 2007:158 *paih; Mand. bì.
