Old Burmese Ry- – a Remark on Proto-Lolo-Burmese Resonant Initials1

Hill) Kobe City University of Foreign Studies (emeritus) Abstract Philological evidence and comparative phonology confirm the existence of an initial ry- in Old Burmese and Proto-Lolo-Burmese, evidence that is over looked in much scholarship (e.g. Matisoff 1979, 1991, etc.). Keywords: Old Burmese, Prolo-Lolo-Burmese, liquid initials, reconstruction ISO 639-3 codes: obr, mya, ahk, atb, hni, lis, lhu, ywq We may cite the following four words that are spelled with ry- in Old Burmese (OB) and have cognates in other Lolo-Burmese (LB) languages.i A. 1． ryā ‘hundred’: WrB rá, 2． ryā ‘(dry-crop) field’: WrB rá (now spelled yá)ii 3． ryak ‘day’: WrB rakiii 4． ryap ‘to stand’: WrB rapiv Furthermore, in OB (or Pre-OB), there is a word that one may presume to begin with initial /*hry-/: B. 1． *hryat ‘eight’: WrB hracv Other examples of OB forms with an initial spelling ry- are found among loanwords or words with unclear origin: C. Loanwords e.g., 1． (Ɂa-cī) Ɂa-ryaŋ ‘arrangement’: WrB (Ɂa-cí) Ɂa-ráŋvi 2． charyā ‘abbot, teacher’: WrB charávii 3． taryā ‘1aw’: WrB taráviii 4． (Ɂari)mitt(i/a)ryā ‘Maitreya’: WrB (Ɂari)metteyyaix 5． san-ryan ‘a kind of sedan-chair’: WrB san-lyâŋ/ san-hlâŋ /sam-lyâŋ/ sam-hlyâŋx 1 At the retirement of Professor Yoshio Nishi, most of his research on Burmese was anthologized in Four Papers on Burmese (Tokyo, 1999), but two of his early papers, written in Japanese, were excluded. -

A Comparison of the Wild Food Plant Use Knowledge of Ethnic Minorities in Naban River Watershed National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, SW China Ghorbani Et Al

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2012, 8:17 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/8/1/17 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access A comparison of the wild food plant use knowledge of ethnic minorities in Naban River Watershed National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, SW China Abdolbaset Ghorbani*, Gerhard Langenberger and Joachim Sauerborn Abstract Background: Wild food plants (WFPs) contribute to the nutrition, economy and even cultural identity of people in many parts of the world. Different factors determine the preference and use of WFPs such as abundance, availability, cultural preference, economic conditions, shortage periods or unsecure food production systems. Understanding these factors and knowing the patterns of selection, use and cultural significance and value of wild food plants for local communities is helpful in setting priorities for conservation and/or domestication of these plants. Thus in this study knowledge of wild food plant use among four groups namely Dai, Lahu, Hani and Mountain Han in Naban River Watershed National Nature Reserve ((NRWNNR), Xishuangbanna were documented and analyzed to find the similarity and difference among their plant use. Methods: Data on wild food plant use was collected through freelisting and semi-structured interviews and participatory field collection and direct observation. Botanical plant sample specimens were collected, prepared, dried and identified. -
