| description | For the cognate set "sky" Bradley (1979:324) reconstructs a Proto-Loloish form *mo. He also compares a related Burmese form mui: "sky". Examples of this type were used by Benedict (1972:148, no. 488) to reconstruct a Proto-Tibeto-Burman form *r-muw *r-maw having the sense "sky, clouds, fog". Written Tibetan (WT)* is represented in Benedict's comparisons by the word rmu-ba "fog". In the present note I wish to draw attention to several more Tibetan words which may be of interest here. |
