Numeral [Proto-Sino-Tibetan]

Forms: s-ni-s [canonical]
Etymology: * Proto-Sino-Tibetan: ? ** Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *g/s-ni-s (Matisoff, STEDT); *g-nis (Benedict, 1972; Chou, 1972; LaPolla, 1987); *g-ni-s (Weidert, 1987) Alongside the root for "three" (*g-sum), this root for "two" is one of the most lexemically and phonologically stable numerals in Sino-Tibetan languages, and lexical replacement of this etymon is excessively rare: e.g. Jingpho /ləkhôŋ/ which has not been successfully connected to anything else. The Jingpho word for "one" has a similar shape, /ləŋâi/, and is also etymologically unclear. This root appears unmistakably cognate with *s-ni-s (“seven”). See there for more. The Burmese form seems to suggest a proto-language velar final variant: *-ik. Head templates: {{head|sit-pro|numeral}} *s-ni-s

The Jingpho word for \"one\" has a similar shape, /ləŋâi/, and is also etymologically unclear.\nThis root appears unmistakably cognate with *s-ni-s (“seven”).
