Intermediate reconstructions
Lolo-Burmese*ʔpök ‘JUMP’
Notes
This etymon is set up as PLB ʔpök in LTSR #55, on the basis of forms like Lahu pɔ̂ʔ and Bisu pɤ̄k. The evidence for medial *-r- is from Tamangic and Kiranti.
The unusual PLB rhyme (*-ök) might well be an artifact of the labial glide that is now reconstructed.
This root now seems quite separate from #2563 PTB *plwaŋ RUN / FLEE / JUMP UP, contra HPTB:378-379.
