Notes

This etymon is apparently distinct from #5694 PTB *m/s-prat ⪤ *pran SPRINKLE / SPRAY. The *-ya- medial is reconstructed to account for forms such as Apatani prjɯʔ-pu, Gurung cʰiɖ praːqba, and Yi Nanhua ʑi³³ phiɑ³³, while the *-wa- medial accounts for the Central Loloish, Naxi, and Bai forms.
