Notes
On the basis of the Akha doublet po HS ‘roll over, search for’ and pyaw ̂ ‘turn over, be twisted’, two separate allofamic roots were reconstructed in LTSR ##19-20 and in HPTB pp. 337, 369. However, it now seems better to simply combine them. The Akha doublet is handled by positing a variant with medial -y-. Further accurately transcribed Loloish forms will clarify this etymology.
