Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *pī̆ng-u
Meaning : corpse
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : pīliŋū
Kuwi (Schulze) : pīnugu
Kuwi (Israel) : pinugu
Notes : The form in Kuwi_F is strange; there is no evident source of borrowing and it does not fit into any of ther correspondences either. The final -ŋū cannot be a plural ending (which is -ŋa). The only possible development is *pīngu (note that the -n- here is NOT velar, but plain dental) > *pīnŋu > *pīlŋu.
Number in DED : 4157
