Baxter and Sagart (2014) reconstructs 藏 (OC *m-tsʰˤaŋ, “to store”) with an *m- prefix, which changes 倉 (OC *tsʰˁaŋ, “granary”) into a volitional verb. Cognate with Tibetan གསང (gsang, “secret; conceal”), འཚང ('tshang, “to press into”) (Schuessler, 2007); STEDT provisionally reconstructs Proto-Tibeto-Burman *C-(t)saŋ (“to bury; to conceal”).
