Notes

A number of languages (e.g., Kuki-Chin, Meithei, Nocte, Andro) have developed a final dental stop in this root, undoubtedly due to the preceding high vowel.

Tsangla has acquired the homorganic final nasal in this root.

This etymon frequently occurs as first element in compounds meaning ANKLE (“eye-foot”).
