Kui-Kuwi etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *jān-
Meaning : interr. base
Kui : an- "what"
Khuttia Kui : in-
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : ena "what"
Kuwi (Schulze) : ēna, ēnaɨ "which thing, which things"
Additional forms : Also Kui ananju, anaru, anari, anai what man, what men, what woman or thing, what women or things; adj. ani; anavani, inavani where; anaṛiki, anaki, inaṛiki, inaki why; Kui_K ini- = ani-; inari = anari; Kuwi_F adj. eni; eneki how; Kuwi_S ēnari which men
Notes : The second case of PK *y-, this time before a long vowel. In Kuwi the reflexation *yā- > *e- is stable (although Kuwi_F has short e-, while Kuwi_S has long ē-); in Kui the usual reflexation is a-; however, the original *y- is betrayed by forms like inavani, which probably have preserved traces of *y- because of old reduction *yānavani > *yanavani > *inavani. The pronoun was used as the inanimated 'what' in PK.
