Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *chi(ǝ)k
Meaning: leopard
Tibetan: gzig leopard; porcupine.
Burmese: (kjah)-sać leopard, LB *[z]ikx.
Kachin: dumsi1 a porcupine (?).
Comments: Rawang khaŋ-zi leopard; Trung dzǝ̆ʔ1 wolf, kaŋ2-dži2 leopard. Sh. 52; Ben.27. Forms showing a zero reflex in the final position (Jnp. dumsi1, Rawang khaŋ-zi, Trung kaŋ2-dži2) should perhaps be rather compared with OCh. 豺 *ʒ́_rǝ̄ wolf < PST *ʒ́(r)iǝ̄.
