HAND / WING

Intermediate reconstructions

Kiranti*khur ‘HAND / WING’from BM-PK7

Notes

This root is found in the closely-related Tangut, Qiangic, and rGyalrongic branches, as well as in Himalayish, including Kiranti.

HPTB unwisely considered the present root (there reconstructed as *kur) as being allofamic with #373 PTB *wul HAND (there reconstructed as *ʔur). It now seems much more preferable to keep the two roots separate.
