STEDT Etymon #686
1.0 The Body > 1.9 Reproductive System > 1.9.5 Vagina
#686 PTB *si(ŋ/k) MOUTH / LIP |
This etymon is best attested in Himalayish, with some support also from the NE Indian Areal Group and Asakian, and perhaps Qiangic and/or WB. The reflexes have either simple sibilant or affricate initials. I presume the proto-initial to have been *s-, in view of the natural tendency to develop secondary affrication before -i-.
It is very possible that this etymon belongs together with #1349 PTB *si(ŋ/k) VAGINA, in a single word-family, in view of the similar semantic range of #3589 PTB *dzyuk ⪤ *tsyuk VULVA / VAGINA / MOUTH / LIP.
A particularly interesting form is Newar mhu◦tu◦si, where mhu◦tu means ‘mouth’, and si means ‘corner (of the mouth)’. The basic meaning of si is ‘border, margin, bank’, as in khu-si ‘riverbank’, mi-kha-pu-si ‘eyebrow’ (K. P. Malla, p.c.). Thus Newar si has nothing to do with the present etymon.
This etymon seems quite distinct from #477 TGTM *suŋ MOUTH, which so far has been attested only in Himalayish.
