*m-taːy

RETALIATE / GRUDGE (bear a)
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

Chinese comparandum

敵 OC *d’iek, GSR #877q ‘enemy; oppose’; Schuessler 2007:209 *dêk; B & S 2011: *dˁek {[d]ˁek}; Mand. dí.

Comment: Chinese 對, Mand. duì and 懟 duì have previously been treated as comparanda here (GSTC:118); however, Schuessler 2007:202 suggests 對 as more likely related to 答 dá, which would make 對 and presumably 懟 both comparanda for #2206 PTB *(d/t)(u/i)p BEAT / STRIKE. Schuessler 2007:209, noting the Lushai form tǎi, proposes Chinese 敵 di as a comparandum instead, although this would imply a suffix *-k on the Sinitic side (cf. Schuessler 2007:§6.1)
