Notes

For the moment, we are reconstructing this root as a separate item from #689 PTB *s/k-n(y)i-k/ŋ HEART / MIND / BRAIN. However, Kanauri stiŋ is a regular reflex of the latter, since the initial sequence *sn- is regularly obstruentized into Kanauri st- (see HPTB p. 103).

A number of Qiangic forms with complex initials are also provisionally assigned to this root.

It is highly likely that this root is indeed ultimately related to #689 PTB *s/k-n(y)i-k/ŋ HEART / MIND / BRAIN.
