Notes

This root is reconstructed for Proto-Kiranti by Michailovsky (1991). The Burmese form definitely appears cognate. It is possible that this etymon should be reconstructed with the PTB rhyme *-ul, as suggested by apparently parallel examples: #363 PTB *s/r-mul ⪤ *s-mil ⪤ *s-myal HAIR / FUR / FEATHER (> WB mwê); #2623 PTB *s-b/m-ruːl SNAKE (> WB mrwe).
