Dear all,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
I wonder if you know any language where the primary morpheme
meaning 'to put' and the one meaning 'to let go (to seize
holding something)' are the same.<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
At this point I only know four: Mandarin (fàng), Korean (noh),
Mongolian (tav), and White Hmong (tso).<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
They are all spoken in East Asia (with White Hmong spreading out
to SE Asia), so I wonder if this feature is unique to this area.<br>
<br>
