Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *kār-/*kark-
Meaning : to graze, gnaw
Kui : kāra giva "to graze (of animals)"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : kārali "to gnaw"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : kark- (-it-) "to gnaw"
Tekriya Kuwi : kār- (-it-) "to nibble"
Kuwi (Israel) : kar- (-it-) "to chew meat (e.g. from the bone)"
Additional forms : Also Kui kāra bāra giva to graze, peck up food; Kuwi_F karali to nibble; Kuwi_Isr kark- (-it-) to gnaw
Notes : The forms with -k- are probably of plural action. However, of the two variants - kar- and kār- - we cannot clearly define the original. The most probable solution is that *kār-k- > *kark-, while *kār- > *kar- in some dialects by analogy.
