Tani*-ka ~ *-ke ‘DEAD (resultative verbal particle)’JS-HCST: 148

Notes

This root is well-attested in Tani (where it functions both as a main verb and as a resultative complement), with a couple of possible cognates elsewhere. The Batang form is assigned to this root, but in the absence of a WT cognate, this is uncertain.
