*rap

CROSS (RIVER) / FORD / WADE
Proto-Tibeto-Burman · provisional

Notes

The WT reflex for this root and a Chinese comparandum were first proposed by Coblin (1986) and were recapitulated in Schuessler (2007). As of now, primary supporting evidence is seen elsewhere than in Bodic, notably in Western Tani and Jingpho. Hopefully, additional corroborating data from spoken Tibetan dialects and Qiangic/rGyalrongic will some day become available.
