Number : 472
Proto-Bushman : *!1ʔobe (?)
Meaning : to curl
Proto-Ju : *!ʼobe
Bushman > Ju : Bushman > Ju
Proto-Taa : *ɡǀǀòbe
Bushman > Taa : Bushman > Taa
Notes : Good semantics, but efflux correspondences are irregular. (One possible way to explain this is to suggest that the !Xóõ form might be incorrectly transcribed and that the real form is *ɡǀǀòʔbe - in this case, the NK form has a glottal stop metathesis).
