#276 PTB *(p/b)i ROUNDED PART / NIPPLE / FOREHEAD / SHOULDER |
This root typically occurs as the last syllable in compounds for such bodyparts as CHEST / BREAST, SHOULDER, FIST, FOREHEAD, and BUTTOCK (cf. Lahu ni-ma-qa-pɨ, làʔ-qá-pɨ, làʔ-chɨ̂ʔ-pɨ, nā-qā-pɨ, and qhɛ̂-qhɔ-pɨ, respectively).
Hayu phi and the Jinuo forms with aspirated initials may descend from a separate root, especially since these morphemes do not occur as the final member in compounds.
This etymon resembles, but seems distinct from, #1275 PTB *pu BALL / EGG / ROUND OBJECT, which also refers to a variety of rounded body parts. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish these two roots in Lolo-Burmese, perhaps due to insufficient phonemicization in the sources.

Despite the final dental nasal in Milang ɲun-, it is assigned to #259 PTB *s-nəw(k/ŋ) BREAST / MILK because of the doublet with ɲuŋ.
Newar duru ‘milk’ is a loan from Skt. dugdha- (cf. #3466 IA *du-t MILK / BREAST); ca DIMINUTIVE.
Gazhuo ɕo³³ and Shuikui ɕiõ³³ are probably loans from Chinese 胸 (Mand. xiōng) ‘chest’.
This form is also cited in DL:852 as pɛ̀-pɨ ‘crop of bird; (human) breast, chest’. It is co-allofamic with pɛ̀-pì(-qu) ‘chicken’s breast’ (cf. also pɛ̀-qu ‘goiter’).
The trigraph -rgh was described by Fraser as representing “the sound of involuntary retching”, and seems to have represented the high central vowel ɨ.
