Lepchasbraŋ ‘name’STC has Lepcha bryaŋ ‘name’ “from sbraŋ“ (p.31, fn.99). LaPolla has apparently interpreted this sbraŋ as an older Lepcha form, but it appears to be a PTB reconstruction (though missing an asterisk). Even Mainwaring’s dictionary of Lepcha has ‘name’ as a-bryaṅ (1898:513).LaPolla 87: 179
