#780 PTB *kwaŋ SKIN |
This root is distinct from #593 PTB *kur ⪤ *kwar SKIN. Cf. Lalung khongʔ ‘skin’ (from the present etymon) vs. kur ‘skin’ and mokun ‘eyelid’ (from *gul). Neither does there seem to be a connection between this root and #586 PTB *s/r‑kawk ⪤ *s/r‑kwak OUTER COVERING / SKIN / BARK / RIND. The second syllable of Lahu mə̂‑qɔ ‘lip’ might well be derived from PLB *ʔgaŋ, but this syllable also appears in several other words (mɔ̀ʔ‑qɔ ‘mouth’, làʔ=tɔ‑qɔ ‘palm of the hand’, mû‑lɔ̀ʔ‑qɔ ‘daytime; afternoon’), and is glossed ‘noun formative of elusive meaning’ in Matisoff 1988:250. See #473 PTB *kwaŋ MOUTH, to which we temporarily assign Lahu ‘mouth’.
