In the Sino-Tibetan family, expletive negation in "until" clauses is not
restricted to languages under Indo-Aryan influence, it is also found for
instance in Gyalrongic, see (A grammar of Japhug | Language Science Press
(langsci-press.org) <https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/295>,
§25.3.2.3, p.1400.
