Reconstruction

  • Proto-Sino-Tibetan:
    • Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *p-kur or *k-pur (STEDT)

The reconstruction with main syllable *-kur is preferred here due to its greater presence in branches. It is unclear how the velar in Kuki-Chin disappeared (lenition to *-w- perhaps?).

Verb

*pV-kur

  1. to carry
