Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : kānjū (pl. kāska) "a banghi"

Notes : This root is clearly different from *kāca, although they are close both in meaning and phonetics, so B&E unite them. One could suggest *kāc- is secondarily derived from the plural *kacka < *kanjka, but the difference between the two forms seems to be somewhat deeper than the PK level (see DED on the subject).
