If I understand correctly, the O-P cognate of Da _haN'/he'_ is animate?
This is interesting, since the Da (modern) form is not(at least with
reference to humans)!

Buechel: "han vn: to stand upright, as of things, to remain, as said of
grass, arrows that strike the ground and stand; also of cattle etc. that
remain or stay in a certain locality. < Hel hanpi s^ke. Tatanka optaye
nunpa he lo There they say is soup. There remain two herds of buffalo>"

With regard to our very topic, it looks like that on an earlier stage
(historical level) _haN'_ still had been used with animates (->
agliyahan etc.).
