Based in part on the likelihood that Proto-Monic *clur 'dog' reflects earlier *cu-lur, a Proto-Mon-Khmer reconstruction *tsu(-a) 'dog' is proposed & suggested as an interphylum bridge to Tibeto-Burman & Austronesian; Formosan parallels to the Monic protoform are noted. Proto-Austronesian *(u-)((eng))ku(gamma)ku(gamma) 'dog' is linked to Japanese & Hmong-Mien forms & is claimed to furnish a bridge to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kw(schwa)y 'dog'. 14 References. J. Hitchcock
