STEDT #5344

*khraal

GROIN

Notes

This PKC root appears distinct from #201 PTB *m-kal ⪤ *s-gal BACK (lower) / KIDNEY / LOAD / CARRY, as witness the different reflexes in Mizo, Lai (Hakha), and Tiddim. Certain forms, however, seem to go equally well with either root (e.g. Paite khal, assigned by VanBik (2009) [#1344] to the present root).
