1 1 \data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *!qa-u-
Meaning : cheetah
Notes : The root is very widespread in Peripheral Khoisan, and certain phonetic considerations make the borrowing scenario not too likely. However, the Sandawe form can only be placed here on a supremely hypothetical basis.
Proto-Khoisan : *(h)ui
Meaning : to help
Notes : See Honken 1998 : 187. There is some variability between variants with h- and zero both in Khoe and Peripheral Khoisan, probably indicative of contact. Proto-Khoisan : *hukwa [~]
Meaning : to fly
Notes : Attested only in Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *hVKV
Meaning : to go
Notes : A Sandawe-Hadza isogloss.
Proto-Khoisan : *hVm
Meaning : to smell
Proto-Khoisan : *[h]wǝ
Meaning : all
Notes : Bushman and Khoe etyma obviously belong together; whether the Hadza form also falls in with them or is just a coincidental resemblance is, at the moment, unclear.
Proto-Khoisan : *!xoe
Meaning : to run; to chase
Proto-Khoisan : *!xŨ [~]
Meaning : man
Proto-Khoisan : *!XV-
Meaning : to snore
Notes : Correspondences have to be worked out, but the comparison is generally very promising.
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯Ka- (?)
Meaning : neck
Notes : The connection is weak (unaccounted velar affricate efflux in Kxoe).
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯Ko̰
Meaning : male
Notes : The connection here is likely genetic, since the North Khoisan root (perfectly reconstructible on the proto-level) contains a retroflex rather than a simple lateral click (same correspondence as in the words for "moon", "river", etc.).
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯NʔU- (?)
Meaning : porcupine
Notes : The connection is not obvious (different suffixes in Khoe and Peripheral Khoisan?).
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯quʔurV
Meaning : nail
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯u[-RV]
Meaning : quiver
Notes : Broad semantics and morphological segmentation of this word in !Xóõ speak in favour of a genetic parallel here rather than contact.
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯xao
Meaning : hippopotamus
Notes : See Honken 1998 : 187. The click seems to have been retroflex in North Khoisan, which makes the borrowing scenario from Khoe not likely. Proto-Khoisan : *!̯xom
Meaning : river
Notes : The click seems to have been retroflex in North Khoisan, which makes the borrowing scenario from Khoe not likely.
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯[n ]abu
Meaning : wing
Notes : A rare case of possible click loss in Sandawe.
Proto-Khoisan : *!̯ʷxui [~]
Meaning : tail
Notes : Not found outside Peripheral Khoisan.
Proto-Khoisan : *i
Meaning : class marker; 3rd person pr.
Proto-Khoisan : *[i]Ca-
Meaning : to steal
