Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *laH (~ ƛ-)
Meaning: testicles, male
Burmese: lah ungelded, laʔ-uʔ testiculi.
Kachin: la1 a male.
Comments: Mat. 184. STEDT 343-344 *la 'male', 361-362 *la 'copulate' (with more Naga, Bodo-Garo, Gurung-Tamang-Thakali and LB forms). Most Kiranti forms, however, are attributed here to a different root *ra ~ wa which is quite shaky, while Limbu ja-rimba is separately compared with Manchati ńja-ri and Tamang ŋja - also quite improbable. Nasalized forms are probably: Mikir ar-leŋ, Trung *laŋ-la 'man'.
