#784 PTB *pu RIND / SHIELD / SKIN (n.)

Reconstructed mesoroots below:

This root occurs mostly in Kuki-Chin (cf. PKC *phoo VanBik 2009:#353), but also apparently in Nungic and Loloish. The semantics of this root are interesting, since the skin is here conceived of as a protection or shield from the outside world.
