Alternative forms

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ta̠³⁵/

Etymology 1

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-ta-t (“to put, to place”). Cognate with Burmese ထား (hta:, “to put”), Tibetan འདེགས་པ ('degs pa, “to put”), Old Chinese 著 (OC *taʔ, *tas, *da, *taɡ, *daɡ), Nuosu ꄉ (da, “to put”) and Jingpho da (“to put”). Compare Zaiwa dvo and Longchuan Achang tʰɔ³¹. A parallel grammaticalisation with Chinese 著 (“put”) has occurred (“to put” > “indicating continuous action”).

Verb

ta̠³⁵ (reduced form tə̠̆-)

1. to put, to place
2. (auxiliary) particle indicating the present continuous condition of the preceding verb

   ŋa⁵⁵ sɛ̃³⁵va³¹ va⁵⁵ mɛ̃³¹ ŋji³¹ ta̠³⁵ a⁵⁵.

Etymology 2

Possibly related with Proto-Sino-Tibetan *l-t(y)ak (“to rise, to ascend, to climb, upper part”), although another verb taʔ³¹ (“to ascend, to attend (school)”) matching this better exists. Cognate with Burmese ထ (hta., “to rise, to get up”). Compare Lhao Vo to", Zaiwa dvoq and Longchuan Achang tʰɔʔ⁵⁵.

Alternative forms

• ta̠ʔ⁵⁵

Verb

ta̠³⁵

1. to get up, to rise

Usage notes

Etymology 1 and 2 have become homophones due to historical sound changes in Pela (cf. Zaiwa dvo vs. dvoq). Since both of them can form compounds with the verb ja̠p⁵⁵ (“sleep”), the compound verb ja̠p⁵⁵ ta̠³⁵ is confusing and its correct meaning can be almost only understood with the help of contexts. However, some speakers still use, though sporadically, an alternative form, ta̠ʔ for Etymology 2.

Derived terms

• ja̠p⁵⁵ ta̠³⁵ (“to get up”)

 

See also

• jɛʔ³¹ (“to stand”)

Etymology 3

Causative verb of ta³¹ (“to eat”), cf. Old Chinese 食 (OC *lɯɡs, *ɦljɯɡ). See ta³¹ for more information.
