Comments:Whitman 1985, 144, 155, 237. An Eastern isogloss. In Turk. cf. perhaps Oyr., Shor parga 'weed' (which would require a modification of the PA form to *mi̯àro). The loss of resonant in Jpn. presupposes a suffixed form like *mòr(o)-gV (cf. the Turkic parallels) or *mòr(o)-ŋV (cf. Evk. moriŋa).
