*m-nywa(n/t)

FULL (of container)
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

Tamangish*ᴮʰnat ‘FULL’
rGyalrong*m-nywan ‘FULL’

Notes

This root has so far been attested only in Tamangic and rGyalrongic. The meaning always seems to refer to the contents of a container rather than to satiety from eating. The rGyalrongic forms show evidence both of a palatal and labial glide, but no trace of a final -t. The Tamangic forms, on the other hand, attest to an alternation between final stop and nasal, as well as evidence of a palatal semivowel (but not of a labial one).
