Notes

Dialects of Tibetan point to variants with final velar stop and/or nasal prefix. The long vowel is reconstructed on the basis of the Written Burmese rhyme -uiŋ.

This root strongly resembles #3602 PTB *du DWELL / STAY / SIT / REST / LIVE, and may well be allofamic with it.

In addition, there well may be a relationship between this root and #5757 PNungic *roŋ SIT. For a similar alternation between d- and r-, see numbers #2686 PTB *(t/d)ak WEAVE and #5669 PTB *rak WEAVE / DRIVE / CHASE.
