HPTB*m-duŋ ‘sword / spear’p. 284

Notes

This root is reconstructed on the basis of the WT and Jingpho forms in STC p. 118, note 327, and this is repeated in HPTB p. 284. The forms with a vocalism are here included in this set for the first time. Some of the supporting forms, especially those from Tamangic and rGyalrongic, look like loans from Tibetan.
