Notes

Chantyal nak/nakh is a borrowing from Nepali nāk, but the superficially similar Tiddim form naːk³ is a genuine descendant of PKC *hnaar. (The development of final -r to a velar is regular in Tiddim.)

A few Tani languages (Idu, Kaman) have developed secondary final consonants (-m, -ŋ)). There are separate but perhaps related roots: #1415 PTB *m/s-nam SMELL, #805 PTB *s-nap SNOT / NASAL MUCUS. Cf. all the English words relating to the nose that begin with the clusters sm- or sn-.

Noteworthy is the Qiang (Mawo) reflex with initial st- rather than sn-. This obstruentization of n- after the s- prefix had hitherto been noted only in Kanauri and Chinese. See HPTB:103.
