Verb [Proto-Sino-Tibetan]

Etymology: * Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *dzaʔ (Schuessler, 2007; Hill, 2019) ** Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *m-dz(y)a-k/n/t/s (Matisoff, STEDT); *dzya-n/k (Mortensen, 2012); *dza (Weidert, 1987; Michailovsky, 1991; Benedict, 1972); *dza-n ⪤ dza-k (Matisoff, 1983); *dzɑ (Chou, 1972) Some consider Chinese 食 to be a reflex of this root; according to the latest reconstructions, 食 and its cognates are probably best listed under *mə-l(j)ək (“to lick”). Compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *caʔ (“to eat”). Etymology templates: {{lang|zh|食}} 食, {{cog|mkh-pro|*caʔ|t=to eat}} Proto-Mon-Khmer *caʔ (“to eat”) Head templates: {{head|sit-pro|verb|cat2=roots}} *dzaʔ
