Abstract
Hill (2019a) compares Tib. mkhan ‘know’ with Chi. 見 kenH ‘see’ as evidence for the antiquity of ablaut in the Sino-Tibetan verbal system. Jacques (2020) raises objections to this comparison, which this article aims to answer. The proposed solution is that -e- grade and palatalization typical of Tibetan honorifics continue inherited present stems and that unpalatalized present -e- grades are of an analogical origin.
