Kui-Kuwi etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *amb-u
Meaning : arrow
Kui : āmbu (pl. āpka) "arrowhead"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : ambū (pl. apka) "arrowhead"
Kuwi (Schulze) : ambu "bow"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : ambu (pl. apka)
Kuwi (Israel) : ambu (pl. apka)
Additional forms : Also Kui (Friend-Pereira) ambu arrow
Notes : Winfield has an extremely strange ā- which is supported neither by Kuwi forms, nor by external data, nor even by the Friend-Pereira grammar. One of the possible explanations is compensatory lengthening in the plural (resulting from *-mbk- > -pk-) which by analogy has been generalized.
