<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I see your point. The detailed argument I would like to make about the put-release verbs in MNEA languages is that they share the following four meanings: `to relax (a part of oneself, e.g. hand or heart)’, `to leave
(something at a location)’, `to put’ and `to release’. So while verbs meaning `to put’ and `to release’ are indeed observed outside of MNEA, a verb sharing this specific semantic range consisting of four meanings would be rarer, I would suspect. (Although,
after consulting a dictionary of the Adi language, it does seem to encompass all these four meanings as well). Please find attached a part of my manuscript that gives examples of four MNEA languages where the same verb is used for each of these four meanings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Gyalrongic languages are of course in contact with both Sichuanese and Standard Mandarin, but this contact, at least for Japhug, is post-1949. I think that it is unlikely that this use of
<i>ta </i>is calqued from Chinese, especially since the range of meaning of this verb is not identical to that of Chinese
<span lang="ZH-CN" style="font-family:DengXian">放</span> (see the online Japhug-French-Chinese dictionary for examples). However, I do not dispute that this possibility deserves to be investigated in more detail.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to Guillaume and Mark for pointing that out. On the other hand, it seems to me that the two languages (Japhug and Abor) you mentioned are within or adjacent to Mandarin-speaking region (including Southwestern Mandarin), in common
with the MNEA languages I mentioned. Could it be that this polysemy is caused by the contact between Mandarin and its neighboring languages?<o:p></o:p></p>
