Kuki-Chin*kop ‘ADHERE / STICK TO’PKC #247

Notes

The Burmese binome for ‘kidney’ apparently means “adjoining the waist”.

This root is somewhat similar to #5478 PTB *tsyap JOIN / CONNECT, but they must be kept separate because of the different WB forms (cap < #5478 PTB *tsyap JOIN / CONNECT vs. kap < #2752 PTB *(g/k)(w)ap ADJOIN / ADHERE).
