*m-dzya-t

VERY / TOO / TOO MUCH

Intermediate reconstructions

Central Chin*zet ‘VERY / EXCEEDINGLY’PKC #1246 ("PCC")

Notes

This root is well-established in Loloish, and apparently also in Tujia. The Tangkhul and Central Chin forms reflect suffixal *-t, which is also hinted at by the tone of Naxi (Yongning) dʑɑ¹³.
