Notes : Some irregularities here: very much unclear is the -d- in the Kota past stem (both Toda and external data point to the transitive type of conjugation), as well as the vocalism -e- in Toda; normally, *a > e only under the influence of a following *-ǐ-, never *-ä-. Note, however, that the same irregularity is also met in Kodagu and Kannada, so we might be dealing with an old dialectal variation.
