Notes
This is undoubtedly the same etymon as #1356 PTB *dzyuk ⪤ *tsyuk VULVA, with obvious semantic connections. Reflexes with meanings like MOUTH or LIP have so far been found in the NE Indian Areal Group (including Barish [Atong] and the outlying Sulung language), Himalayish (including Bodic [Tshona] and Kiranti), and Burmese (which has homophonous forms with both the VAGINA and MOUTH meanings).
