*du

DWELL / STAY / SIT / REST / LIVE

Notes

For now, we consider this etymon as distinct from #1906 PTB *m-(t/d)u(ŋ/k) SIT, although several reflexes have -i vocalism; such -i ⪤ -u variation has so far only been solidly attested in closed syllables. The Qiangic form with -i- shows the expected “brightening”.

The Apatani forms might also come from #1819 PTB *ta LIVE.
