Kho-Bwa

The Puroik autonym "Purun" is similar to "Bugun." Thus, I suggest that "Purunish" or "Bugunish" may serve as alternative names for Kho-Bwa.

Special thanks to Tim Bodt, Ismael Lieberherr other linguists at the Himalayan Languages Project for the original data collection. None of the data has been personally collected by myself, and all original analyses by Bodt and Lieberherr should be acknowledged and credited.
