Proto-Sino-Tibetan

Reconstruction

  • Proto-Sino-Tibetan: ?
    • Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *s/g-la (STEDT)

For the correct rGyalrongic descendants, see Lai (2024), although he does not discuss the Tangut word.[1] Many of the "Qiangic" descendants listed in the STEDT are incorrect, since most of them are borrowings from Tibetan གླ་རྩི (gla rtsi) or other related Tibetan terms.

Noun

*t-la(k)

  1. musk deer
