Notes

Two sorts of alternations are to be found with this etymon: between open and nasal final syllables, and between open and velar final syllables. Several languages have doublets reflecting two variants, e.g. Lepcha bi~bín, Hpun pè and pèŋ, Lahu (Black) pèʔ and pî, and Dulong biŋ and bi⁵⁵. The Chin languages have a thorough-going morphological alternation between open syllables in Form I and velar final syllables in Form II.
