Proto-Sino-Tibetan

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]
  • Proto-Sino-Tibetan: ?
    • Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *t/duŋ ⪤ *ts(y)uːŋ (Matisoff, STEDT); *tsyuːŋ (Benedict, 1972) (later revised to *tuːŋ); *tuuŋ (LaPolla, 1987)

Secondary affricativisation conditioned by medial /-u-/ occurred in many cases, a phenomenon reminiscent of modern Japanese /tu/, [t͡sɯ]. The original initial was a plain or perhaps palatalised (?) plosive.

Noun

*duŋ

  1. navel
