*ʔ-loŋ¹

LORIS, SLOW

Notes

This is a small nocturnal arboreal primate, Nycticebus coucang.

A slightly different reconstruction is given in DL:1397: PLB *s-loŋ¹. The initial element is undoubtedly from the PTB “animal prefix”, ult. from PTB *sya. (At the Proto-Loloish level, it is difficult to distinguish between prefixal *s- and *ʔ-.)
