Proto-Kiranti: *bhǝ̀r
Meaning: grow
Sunwar: bar-ca grow up, increase
Tulung: bǝr- grow up
Kaling: bhwɔrnä (bhwɔrŋɔ) grow, increase
Comments: Limbu has stems a) pōr- / pōn- b) pōs-/pō-, which are hard to distinguish, but may in fact represent different original roots. For the former cf. Kulung pǝ-ma (pɔi-) 'increase, grow' (see under *bhä́[p]).
