Abstract
After reviewing Bhat's book, an attempt is made to illustrate the kind of contribution such well-recorded data can make to Tibeto-Burman studies in general. PTB initial velar clusters are examined in this context, with especial attention to the complicating role of prefixes. Various features of the PTB syllable-final where Tangkhul data is of interest are discussed, followed by some remarks on Tangkhul reflexes of proto word-families.
