RUDE / OVERBEARING / PRESUMPTOUS

Notes

This root must be distinct from #5392 PTB *grwal OVERBEARING / EXPLOITATIVE, despite the phonosemantic similarity between the two etyma, as evidenced by the two Lai Chin forms: hŋâl-I, hŋǎl-II from the present root and trol from #5392 PTB *grwal OVERBEARING / EXPLOITATIVE.
