Notes

This root seems independent of #586 PTB *s/r-kawk ⪤ *s/r-kwak OUTER COVERING / SKIN / BARK / RIND. Cf. WT kó-ba (below) vs. WT kog-pa in #586 PTB *s/r-kawk ⪤ *s/r-kwak OUTER COVERING / SKIN / BARK / RIND. A number of supporting forms for this etymon have fricative initials h- or f-. Interplay between laryngeal and velar initials is a common phenomenon in TB; see Matisoff 1997:33 (“Primary and secondary laryngeal initials in TB”) and HPTB:54-58. Cf. e.g. Lisu ko³⁵dʒi³³ and hwa⁵-ji⁴.
