*r-t(y/w)ak

KICK
Proto-Tibeto-Burman

Intermediate reconstructions

Tangkhulic*tʰak ‘KICK’DRM#659
Lolo-Burmese*tekᴴ ‘KICK’

Notes

This etymon was formerly reconstructed as *r/g-dek. (The velar prefix is attested in Tangkhul and Bodo-Garo.) The nasal final in Bodo-Garo, Kanauri, and Tsangla might motivate reconstructing another allofam *r-tyaŋ ⪤ r-twaŋ.

The Tibetan shows vowel gradation in this root: rdeg(s)-pa ⪤ rdog(s)-pa.
