Notes

This root is well-attested in the North Assam group, although there is no Proto-Tani reconstruction in J. Sun 1993.

The interesting Idu forms perhaps include what we have called “incestuous compounds”, where two members of the same word family cooccur, one with a velar cluster and one with a simple lateral. The resemblance between these forms with velar clusters and #720 PTB *g-raŋ WING / HAND / ARM seems to be fortuitous.
