STEDT Etymon #672

This etymon is firmly reconstructible for PTB on the basis of the excellent fit between the Himalayish and Lolo-Burmese cognates. The velar prefix is reconstructed to accommodate the WB and Pa-O forms, as well as a group of Himalayish forms that mean CRADLE. For a similar association with CRADLE see #1615 PTB *tsaŋ NEST / WOMB / PLACENTA, below.

^ 2.

Yakha ‑dɔŋ matches well with the middle syllable ‑dǔŋ‑ of Ugong ‘placenta’, though there is still insufficient data to etymologize them.

^ 3.

There is a homophonous WB word ʔəkhyâŋ ‘one who is connected with another’, cognate to Lahu ɔ̀‑chɔ̂ ‘friend’ (HPTB p. 265). it is possible that there is a genuine semantic assocation between these two WB words, with the placenta conceived of as the “child’s friend”.
