Intermediate reconstructions

Tangkhulic*taj ‘POUND / CRUSH’DRM#379

Loloish*ʔ-day² ⪤ *tay¹ ‘POUND / CRUSH’

Loloish*ʔ-di² ‘POUND’

Notes

Loloish apparently has two allofams of this etymon, one from *-ay and one from *-i. The more ancient rhyme seems to be the former, since it is found also in the Northeast Indian Areal Group.
