Notes

This root is well distributed among the subgroups of TB, with strong (though rather scattered) cognates in the NE Indian Areal Group, Himalayish, Lolo-Burmese, Jingpho, and Karenic. The basic meaning of this etymon may be ‘add, increase; breed, bear young’, since that is the meaning of the free Jingpho verb jàt (Hanson, p. 206; Dai Qingxia et al. 1983:345), as well as of the Thulung form.
