Notes

This root typically occurs as the last syllable in compounds for such bodyparts as CHEST / BREAST, SHOULDER, FIST, FOREHEAD, and BUTTOCK (cf. Lahu ni-ma-qa-pɨ, làʔ-qá-pɨ, làʔ-chɨ̂ʔ-pɨ, nā-qā-pɨ, and qhɛ̂-qhɔ-pɨ, respectively).

Hayu phi and the Jinuo forms with aspirated initials may descend from a separate root, especially since these morphemes do not occur as the final member in compounds.

This etymon resembles, but seems distinct from, #1275 PTB *pu BALL / EGG / ROUND OBJECT, which also refers to a variety of rounded body parts. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish these two roots in Lolo-Burmese, perhaps due to insufficient phonemicization in the sources.
