Tibetan: teg (i. tog) to pack up, put up, put into, ãthegs pack up; theg lift, raise, be able to carry; ãdeg(s) (p. bteg(s), f. gteg, i. theg) to lift, to raise, to support, to weigh.
Kachin: dik3 to put, pack, crowd or jam into.
Comments: The meanings 'lift, support' in Tib. and Kiranti are probably due to contamination with another root, see *thɨāk lift, support. In Chinese one could also compare 寘 *teks 'to place, put down', 置 *trǝks id.
