Pela
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *la-y ~ ra (“to come”). Cognate with Burmese လာ (la, “to come”), Old Chinese 來 (OC *m·rɯːɡ), Nuosu ꇁ (la, “to come”), Hani lal (la⁵⁵, “to come”) and Tangut 𗆐 (*ljịj², “to come”). Compare Lhao Vo lo, Zaiwa lo and Luxi Achang la³¹.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb

- to come (upward , homeward or distal)
- tʃʰə̆.mja̠³¹ jauŋ⁵⁵ ɛ³¹ pɛ̃³¹ pɔ³⁵ nɔ̃⁵⁵ kʰə̆. mɛ̃⁵⁵ ju³¹ la³⁵ ɛ³¹

Pela motion verbs
distal / upward | proximal / level or downward | |
---|---|---|
cislocative | la⁵⁵ | lai³⁵ |
translocative | la³⁵ | ai⁵⁵, ji³¹- |
- Notes
- ^ The difference between the two pairs of motion verbs seems to depend on speakers, or dialects. However, since Pela people traditionally live at mountainous areas, for motions from/towards home the distal/upward pairs are always used.
