Notes
As indicated in HPTB p. 380, it is sometimes quite difficult to distinguish the Loloish reflexes of the present root from those of #2739 PTB *tswat ANTELOPE / SAMBAR DEER. For now, we are assigning most forms with front vowels to #2313 PTB *d-kəy BARKING DEER / DEER and most of the others to #2739 PTB *tswat ANTELOPE / SAMBAR DEER.
The barking deer is a small species (Cervulus muntjac), renowned as the best eating in the jungle.
The first syllable of the Kuki-Chin binome reflects #34 PTB *sya-n FLESH / MEAT / GAME ANIMAL.
