*t(y)u(ŋ/n)

SHORT

Intermediate reconstructions

Tani*təŋ ⪤ *dəŋ ‘SHORT’JS-HCST: 193

Notes

A number of reflexes of this root have affricated rather than simple dental initials.

Another variable feature of this etymon is the final nasal, which in most cases is velar, but a number of languages in several subgroups (Jingpho, Liangmei, Chepang, Tamang) have a dental.
