Notes
This PTB root was borrowed into Indo-Aryan at an early date; cf. Sanskrit śr̥gāla-. Later on, such an Indic form was borrowed into many TB languages, especially in Nepal. This is an excellent example of a “backloan”: TB > IA > TB. See “Toward a Eurasian Bestiary”, part II: JACKAL in Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European (Matisoff 2010).
