*doŋ

WEATHER FORMATIVE / RAIN
NE Indian Areal Group

Intermediate reconstructions

Tani*mV-doŋ ~ *pV-doŋ ‘RAIN (n.)’JS-HCST: 191

Notes

This root is reconstructed as a Proto-Tani sesquisyllable with alternation between the *mV- and *pV- prefixes, the latter occurring only in Padam-Mishing. It seems clear that the nasal pre-syllable derives from #2473 PTB *r-məw SKY / HEAVENS / CLOUDS.
