| description | The term PANASEA (Pan-Southeast Asianism) refers to phono-semantically similar lexical items with wide geographical and linguistic distribution throughout the SEA region. Since these items must have sources, PANASEA also applies to hypothetical lexical roots which cannot be uniquely assigned to any recognized language family. Among some languages belonging to the Sinitic, Tibeto-Burman, Kru-Ini Austronesian, Yao, and Mon-Khmer groups. the lexemes wink (eye), wave (hand), flash (lightning) appear to constitute a word family. The PANASEA 1O781,VP "to move up and down; to flash on and off" is proposed as a possible source of forms with these meanings. |
