#707 PTB *(p/b)lyaŋ PLANK / PALM / FLAT SURFACE / WING |
This phonologically distinctive root has so far been uncovered only in a few Himalayan languages.
There is a closely similar root meaning PALM in several Kiranti languages, which seems rather to be related to *pleŋ ‘flat surface; plank; slab’ (STC #138).
As discussed in Matisoff 1988 (“Straight, flat, full”), this root is allofamically related both to #111 PTB *(p/b)liŋ FULL / FILL and #2160 PTB *(p/b)lyaŋ STRAIGHT / STRAIGHTEN, the common semantic core being “a complete or ideal realization of a quality appropriate to a particular dimensionality in space”.
