Notes : The inlaut resonant is probably secondary in this root (both SDR and NDR have *tūng-). Nevertheless, Manda has trūŋg-, which makes us suggest that the resonant was indeed present in Proto-Khond and does not represent a Kui innovation. In Kui initial d- is due to assimilation with several resonants; the original voiceless t- is preserved in trupka.
