#545 PTB *m-ney PENIS |
This etymon is obviously an allofam of #1284 PTB *m-ley ⪤ *m-li PENIS. The reflexes in this set arose through assimilation of the lateral root-initial to the nasal prefix. In some cases (e.g. Jingpho, Meithei) the prefix still co-occurs with the secondary nasal root-initial. In other languages (e.g. Lahu) the prefix has disappeared as such, after supplanting the original root-initial (“prefix preemption”). [fn: For the first use of the term “prefix preemption” see Matisoff 1972, “Tangkhul Naga and comparative TB”.] This allofam occurs in Jingpho, and is widely attested in Lolo-Burmese; there are also a few scattered reflexes in languages of the NE Indian Areal Group (Chang, Meithei, Mru).

Final nasal in Jingpho -ūm perhaps result of assimilation to preceding round vowel.
Literally “penis-head”.
Lahu qhɛ̀ʔ ‘to be notched’; probably so called because of the notched appearance of the corona glandis.
Lahu phɨ occurs in many other Lahu compounds, including á-thɔ-phɨ ‘scabbard; sheath’ (“knife-nest”), ú-gɛ̂-phɨ ‘pillow-case’, khá-cè-phɨ ‘quiver for arrows’, yɨ̀ʔ-phɨ ‘bed’ (“sleep-nest”), lìʔ-phɨ ‘envelope’, etc.
According to Bradley (1979:304-5), this form coexists with Mpi tɕhɑ²lɑʔ⁴; see #1284 PTB *m-ley ⪤ *m-li PENIS.
