.AN LIHA :Nit, egg of louse: *li(h,s)a *0 >> XO *lie *3 PEO *liz(ae) (Gty. 1983). *4 POC *lisaq "nit" (LPO IV:375). *5 PMP *li(n')t'a (Dpf). *6 PAN *liseqeS "nit, egg of a hair louse" (ACD). *8 Note. No NP language has /s/ the reflex of *s. No EP language with reliable recording has /0/, the reflex of h. TO is ambiguous as to *h vs *s so cannot decide the matter. As the palatals of the extra-Polynesian languages do not correspond very regularly with those of Polynesia (the oral/nasal grade probl em), they cannot be used to determine the matter. So what was the PPN form, *lisa or *liha?
