Proto-Sino-Tibetan[edit]
Etymology[edit]
- Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *riak/rjiak (Coblin, 1986)
- Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *s-r(y)ak (Matisoff, STEDT); *ryak (Benedict, 1972)
Schuessler (2007) assigned Chinese 夜 (yè) to → *ja (“night”) instead. Benedict (1972) listed Chinese 宿 as a reflex of this root, but the initials and vowels are difficult to reconcile.
Noun[edit]
*s-r(j)ak
