Notes :A Lallwort, with understandable reduplication in Sandawe. Whether Hadza reflects the same stem is unclear (more examples on lateral affricates corresponding to non-lateral affricates in other languages would be needed).
Notes :See Ehret 1986: 123. One of the best isoglosses between Hadza and the rest of Khoisan, as well as an interesting example of monosyllabification in Khoe and Bushman that does not involve secondary click formation.
Notes :The root is very weakly represented in Khoisan, but the Sandawe connection - with secondary click formation in other branches - is quite probable.
Notes :This word is subject to similar consonantal irregularities with the word for 'tongue'. Some forms in Peripheral Khoisan may be later reborrowings from Khoe, but certainly not all of them.
Notes :The word for 'tongue' is well-known to be subject to various expressive irregularities in the world's languages, with Khoisan being no exception. Whether the Hadza word fits in with Peripheral Khoisan and Khoe remains to be seen.
Notes :The link is not very strong because =Hoan ʒ́ua is quite likely borrowed from Khoe (cf. ||Gana dùa, etc.), leaving only South Khoisan forms to be compared.
