[Mark Post]

...or indeed elsewhere in Trans-Himalayan; Adi më- (ë is schwa) has the senses 'put; place' and 'release; let go'.

The colexification of 'put' and 'release' is not restricted to this particular area; it is also found in at least some Gyalrong languages further south (Japhug ta 'put' can be used in the sense of 'release, let ... get away with it' ="放过"), and I would not be surprised if it is found in other languages of Western Sichuan.

Dear all,



I am currently writing a paper proposing Mainland Northeast Asia (MNEA) as a linguistic area, and I would like to know if there are any previous studies that have analyzed this region as a linguistic area.

The MNEA area I propose includes northern China, Mongolia, Korea, but not Japan, Sakhalin, and Russian Far East. One feature of this area, which I am currently working on with my colleagues, is that the languages spoken there colexify `to put’ and `to release’, as shown in the attached map.



From Daejeon, South Korea,

Ian
