FOOT
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

This etymon bears a strong resemblance to #336 PTB *r-k(y)aŋ FOOT / LEG, and should perhaps ultimately be combined with it.

Jingpho shows alternation between an open syllable and one with final velar nasal.

This etymon bears a strong resemblance to #336 PTB *r-k(y)aŋ FOOT / LEG, but it seems best to treat it as a separate root.
