Notes

Contra STC #142, Lahu bî ‘full’ is not from this etymon, but rather from #134 PLB *N-bri¹/² FULL / COMPLETE.

As discussed in Matisoff 1988 (“Straight, flat, full”), this root is allofamically related both to #707 PTB *(p/b)lyaŋ PLANK / PALM / FLAT SURFACE / WING and #2160 PTB *(p/b)lyaŋ STRAIGHT / STRAIGHTEN, the common semantic core being “a complete or ideal realization of a quality appropriate to a particular dimensionality in space”.
