Notes

As mentioned above, a number of languages have forms with open syllables and initial l-, y-, or d- with the meaning ‘foot’. Although this might seem strange, it cannot be excluded that these etyma for hand and foot are somehow related. This is rather analogous to the situation with NOSE and EAR, which are reconstructed as *s-na and *r-na ⪤ *g-na, respectively.

The prefixal lə in Jingpho forms referring to the feet are assigned to this etymon, while similar referring to the hand are interpreted as deriving from #695 PTB *lak HAND/LIMB. This ambiguity is the result of the weakening of the rhyme in the prefixization process.
