Proto-Sino-Tibetan

Reconstruction

  • Proto-Sino-Tibetan:
    • Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *ta (Benedict, 1972; Weidert, 1987) *s-ta-t (Matisoff, 2003; STEDT)

See also Schuessler (2007: 629) and Jacques (2014: 87-88), for comparisons.

It is unclear what is causing the *ʔ ~ *k alternation in Chinese, but some relic of a stem-alternation system is a possibility (Baxter & Sagart 2014: 61).

Verb

*taʔ

  1. to put, place
