Compare English pig, pork... Wyang (talk) 01:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
The page says that Proto-Sino-Tibetan is *prwag and that *pʷak is Proto-Tibeto-Burman, so shouldn't this page be at Appendix:Proto-Sino-Tibetan/prwag? —Angr 07:56, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- References which have reconstructed PST are few and not up to date (including the Coblin 1986 here). I am trying to use (Matisoff, STEDT) consistently as PST proto-forms. Although Matisoff nominally treated his database reconstructions as being at the PTB level (perhaps), he definitely relied on the Chinese comparandae when reconstructing them (for example *d-kʷəj-n). Comparing Chinese with TB is quite disorderly yet; waiting for a more authoritative source to be published is probably better. Wyang (talk) 11:39, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
