*ri

MOUNTAIN
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

Notes

This morpheme frequently occurs as the first element in compounds for wild animals. Many languages in the Tibetosphere have borrowed the Tibetan binome #1862 PTB *ri-dak ANIMAL, sometimes preserving the vowel of the first syllable and sometimes reducing it to a schwa-like vowel.
