*t(r)ya-t

WORN OUT / TORN
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

Intermediate reconstructions

Central Chin*tret-I, treʔ-II ‘WORN OUT / TORN’
Tamangish*ᴬɖaː ‘BE TORN’
Tamangish*ᴬɖeː ‘TORN’
Karenic*dɛɁᴰ/dwɛɁᴰ ‘TORN’TL#308

Notes

The initial cluster *tr- is extremely rare in TB. While the evidence from PCC and TGTM is convincing, the Karenic forms apparently descend from a simple dental stop. However, the Karenic allofam with medial -w- suggest that some sort of glide should be reconstructed at the PTB level.
