Proto-Naish
Etymology
Li compares Tibetan འཐུང ('thung, “to drink”).
Verb
*tʰi
Reconstruction notes
- Li reconstructs a pre-initial *C1 to account for Malimasa /ʂv̩/; but this Malimasa word is better derived from a different Proto-Naish etymon *sru, which in turn is ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *srəwk (“to suck, drink”).
