Notes

This root seems almost exclusively to be attested in Lolo-Burmese, where both the prefixed and unprefixed variants occur: e.g. Lahu vi < *-wi ⪤ fī < *s-wi. Semantically, however, this is not a simplex / causative pair; fī refers to a mass of water drying up or being emptied out, while vi focuses on the drying out of a wet object. Furthermore, vi < PLB *Tone 1, but fī < PLB *Tone 2.

Several languages point to a diphthongal rhyme *-ay.
