Notes
This root is not reconstructed in STC, but has been reconstructed as m-pat in several sources (LTSR #124, GSTC #26, HPTB:330).
A medial *-r- is reconstructed for Proto-Tani and Proto-Karenic, and appears overtly in several other scattered languages (Khezha, Mao, Pattani, Tsangla, Motuo Menba). Final *-s appears instead of *-t in Kanauri and Kiranti languages; in at least two rGyalrongic dialects (Heishui Shashiduo ka'pʰəts) and (Maerkang Baiwan Muerji kamə'pʰatz) a final sequence -ts or -tz appears, motivating our reconstruction where the stop + sibilant co-occur syntagmatically. Chepang has also has final -s but the development of a *labial stop to Chepang h is not otherwise attested.
The nasal prefix is abundantly attested in Qiangic, rGyalrongic, and Jingpho.
The Chinese comparandum with medial *-j- was originally proposed by Coblin (1986:130).
