Description
Summary:This paper attempts the megalocomparisan of the lexerrie vulva across a number of languages distributed throughout East and Southeast Asia. The canonical syllable of Sino-Tibetan includes a possible prefix plus root: modern vulva forms from Sinitic and Tibeto-Burman languages suggest their historical source was a bi-syllabic morpheme which later split into two independent roots in some languages. The author tracks the surface similarities of forms in Sinitic and 7Ibeto-Burman languages which lead him to propose Sino-Tibetan *dzu(k) mat and Proto-Chinese *tsl mat (and several variant proto-roots). These roots are based on modern forms from two major southern Sinitic languages.
