Notes

This etymon is of very restricted distribution, occurring only in the Jingpho-Asakian group. It appears unrelated to the equally restricted etymon #3492 PTB *pwak SCROTUM. A Lepcha form tălam-pót ‘testicles’ is not to be brought in here, since the last element (pót, a-pót) means ‘fruit; ball’, and recurs in other bodypart compounds like nyen-pót ‘woman’s breast; cow’s udder’ and anyor-pót ‘dewlap’.

This etymon was reconstructed as *pot TBRS: #120.
