Notes
This obviously onomatopoetic root is quite widespread in the family. Occasionally there are phonological differences in a given languages between HICCUP and BELCH, e.g. Lahu ə̀ʔ ve ‘belch’ and ə̂ʔ ve ‘hiccup’.
The PLB reconstruction *ut given in LTSR #161 is erroneous, as can be seen from the extra-Lolo-Burmese cognates with final -k.
Chinese comparandum
噫 OC *ʔɛg, GSR #957b; Mand. yī.
This character is also found in the Shi Jing with the interjectory meaning ‘alas, oh’ and the OC reconstruction *ʔi̯əg (GSR #957b).
