Example text
The Rabha word rang is found in compounds referring to the weather or sky, and cognates of rang are found in Atong, Ruga, and Koch. pi-nak means ‘black’ in Atong as does the clearly cognate pe-nek of Koch. No cognates for either rang or pi-nak are known in Garo, or in any language of the Boro group, but they do have cognates in some northeastern Naga languages (Benedict 1972: 6–7; Marrison 1967; Burling 1983).
