\data\sintib\stibet
Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *jăH ( / *jăŋH)
Meaning: itch
Chinese: 癢 *laŋʔ itch.
Tibetan: g-ja to itch.
Burmese: jah to itch.
Kachin: kǝja3 to itch.
Lushai: za to tickle, to itch, KC *ya.
Lepcha: ǯak to itch, to tickle, to titillate
Kiranti: *jà(k)
Comments: Sh. 42; Ben. 113; Mat. 193; Luce 6. The Chinese form quite clearly belongs here, despite its attribution in STEDT 364-366 to *jăŋ 'love', which itself has a quite satisfactory Chin. match.
