Proto-Sino-Tibetan

Reconstruction

  • Proto-Sino-Tibetan:
    • Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *glan (Matisoff, 2003; STEDT)

Hill (2019:31) prefers to reconstruct *e as the root vowel and assumes the *a outside of Sinitic is due to a secondary change.

The Jingpho word irregularly has a final -m, if it even belongs here.

Verb

*glan

  1. to mend, repair
