Kui-Kuwi etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *klā-nu
Meaning : threshing floor
Kui : klai
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : kṛanū, kalōmi
Sunkarametta Kuwi : kṛānu (pl. kṛā̃ka)
Tekriya Kuwi : kāṛnu
Notes : Kuwi_F kalōmi is certainly borrowed from Telugu. However, the other forms are not so certain. Kui klai and Kuwi forms cannot be traced back to a single protostem, so at least one of them should be a borrowing. Since the closest languages - Konda and Gondi - seem to have more Kuwi-like forms, I presume that it is the Kuwi forms that are "authentic". However, klai may also represent an old form with another suffix, so the matter is yet unclear. In Kuwi the vowel is irregularly short, but vowel length can be seen from lack of gemination of -n-.
