Notes

This root is independent from #268 PTB *m/s-ba CHEEK / JAW / CHIN, despite a certain phonological resemblance between the two. The independence of the two roots is demonstrated by their co-occurrence in compounds, e.g. Lahu pâ-pi(-li) ‘dimple’ and pâ-pì-qu ‘chin’.

Karenic has separate reflexes of the two roots.
