*s-myak

VANISH / GET LOST

Notes

This etymon resembles #1860 PTB *g/s-ma-t/n PERISH / BE SPENT / BE LOST / LOSE / DISAPPEAR / EXHAUSTED / FORGET, but must be kept distinct, as witness the two Jingpho forms myéʔ from the present root, and mat from #1860 PTB *g/s-ma-t/n PERISH / BE SPENT / BE LOST / LOSE / DISAPPEAR / EXHAUSTED / FORGET.
