Notes

This root is reconstructed as *s-ren in STC #346. HPTB:422 sets up a similar root *g-ral on the basis of WT gral ‘equal, line up, connect in a row’, which was directly compared to GSR #213a and 214a, but this was probably inadvisable. The further relationships of this Tibetan form remain to be worked out.
