Proto-Bodish

Etymology

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *qim.

Noun

*kʰim

  1. house

Reconstruction notes

Bodt notates his proto-form as *qim. However, there is no evidence that the initial consonant was a uvular in the proto-Bodish period, given that in all Bodish languages, all original uvulars surface with the same reflexes as velars. As such, the proto-form should be amended to *kʰim.
