HPTB*tsot ‘deer (sambar) / antelope’p. 380

Notes

As indicated in HPTB p. 380, it is sometimes quite difficult to distinguish the Loloish reflexes of the present root from those of #2313 PTB *d-kəy BARKING DEER / 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 sambar (or sambhur) deer is a large species, Cervus unicolor.
