Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *Ti(k)

Meaning: penis

Tibetan: thig-le semen virile

Lepcha: thik penis

Comments: See STEDT 324-326 *ti-k ~ *di-k 'testicle, penis', listing also Karen (Sgaw theʔ 'penis' etc.), Meithei ti 'penis', Bunan tig-pa 'testicle', and some LB forms. A variant with -ŋ is attested in Lepcha (tălam thjeŋ 'testicle'), Chepang (tǝiŋ 'penis'), Mikir (iŋ teŋ 'clitoris') and Garo (gol-teŋ 'penis'), see STEDT 328 *teŋ.

Comments: STEDT 107-110 *[td]il ~ [td]ul. The word is probably different from *t[u]j, but actively contaminating. The OC form (rather dubious) is related to *t[u]j in STEDT, but it is rather related to t[i]l (if it is related at all). One also wonders if the local root *[n/s]-tow 'egg' reflected in Idu, Qiang and some Lolo languages (STEDT 114-115; note also the "rootlet" *du 'brood, incubate', STEDT 132, reflected only in Tamang and Thakali) does not in fact reflect *t[u]l.
