Notes

This etymon is particularly well-attested in Lolo-Burmese, where there is strong evidence for the final *-p.

Other languages seem to point to an open-syllable variant.

The Qiang (Mawo) binome ɕi pi might possibly be a dimidiation of the monosyllable with final -p. The term ‘dimidiation’ is due to Peter Boodberg, who used it to describe the practice of using two Chinese characters to transcribe a single syllable.
