If Djeoromitxí p͡si {psi} 'to smash, to step' is related to Arikapú pi 'to die', *pi can be reconstructed, though its exact semantic evolution would remain obscure ('to die' > 'to die by smashing' > 'to smash'?).
Number:17
Word:die
Arikapu:kamɔči {kamotxi}2
Ribeiro 2008: 79. Polysemy: 'to die / dead / corpse'. Translated as 'dead' in [Arikapú et al. 2010: 18] (they cite kamɔ̃či {kamõtxi}).

Djeoromitxi:nĩ=pi {nĩpi}2
Ribeiro 2008b: 94.
Proto-Jabuti:*nĩ=pɨ
Voort #184 (*nĩpɨ). Distribution: The root is preserved in both daughter languages (in Arikapú only in compounds); I suggest comparing it to Rikbaktsá špi 'id.'. Replacements: In Arikapú, the root for 'leaf, thorn' with a prefix usually found in the names of body parts is attested in this meaning. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular.

Number:27
Word:feather
Arikapu:ka=i {kai}1
Ribeiro 2008: 76. Polysemy: 'feather / hair / a hair / plumage'. Arikapú et al.

Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are not entirely regular: Arikapú lacks the root-initial consonant present in Djeoromitxí. Semantics and structure: Polysemy: 'hair / feather' is reconstructed. In Arikapú, *kay= > ka= {ka=} 'head' was prefixed.
Number:28
Word:fire
Arikapu:pi=kǝ {pikä}1
Ribeiro 2008: 132; Arikapú et al. 2010: 34. Although the stem is not synchronically segmentable, external comparison suggests than pi= {pi=} is actually a prefix.

Ribeiro 2008b: 88.
Proto-Jabuti:*mĩnũ
Voort #194 (*minũ). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Voort provides the etymology in parentheses because a similar form (manini) is attested in the unrelated Kwaza language. However, even if these forms are related, the direction of the borrowing would have been the opposite, since Rikbaktsá piknu 'id.' is very likely to be a cognate. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular.

Ribeiro 2008b: 75. Only the meaning 'unripe' is attested.
Proto-Jabuti:*kapɨ #
Voort #259 (*kapɨ). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: It is uncertain if the Proto-Jabutí root had the meaning 'green (of color)'. Only the meaning 'unripe' is readily reconstructible.

Arikapu:ka=i {kai}1
Ribeiro 2008: 76; Arikapú et al. 2010: 17. Polysemy: 'feather / hair / a hair / plumage'. Distinct from čiɔ 'a hair' [Ribeiro 2008: 164].
Djeoromitxi:ħi ~ kɔ̃ʔã=ħi {hi ~ kõãhi}1

Ribeiro 2008b: 42. Polysemy: 'heart / a purple part of a banana bunch to which bananas are attached'. -ka {-ka} is possibly a classifier morpheme for round objects, though it might also belong to the root.
Proto-Jabuti:*nbǝ=tɨtɨ-ka ~ *nbǝ=tutu-ka
Voort #73 (*mǝ(tutu)ka). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The vocalic correpondence is irregular.

Arikapu:ɲi=pɨ=ku {nipüku}1
Ribeiro 2008: 119. Cf. ɲĩ=pɨ=kɔy=ku {nĩpükoyku} [Arikapú et al. 2010: 31]. The morphological structure of the word must be a calque from Tuparí languages (Proto-Tuparí *api=kɨp 'horn', literally 'ear=tree').
Djeoromitxi:mɛ=ku {meku}1
Ribeiro 2008b: 87. The morphological segmentation is unclear.
Proto-Jabuti:*=ku
Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: The comparison is valid if mɛ= {me=} is a prefix in Djeoromitxí.

Djeoromitxi:kupa {kupa}1
Ribeiro 2008b: 82.
Proto-Jabuti:*kupa
Voort #147 (*kupa). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. The root is technically reconstructible to Proto-Jabutí but it might be of a Wanderword nature: cf. Tuparí koɛpˈa. Voort provides the etymology in parentheses because an allegedly similar form (pakuri) is attested in the unrelated Mekéns and Wayoró languages. However, this comparison is extremely dubious.

Proto-Jabuti:*ᶚaɾi
Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages (if the Arikapú word is indeed a reflex of the common Jabutí word). Reconstruction shape: The development of the first syllable in Arikapú remains mysterious. Semantics and structure: The word-initial alternation was probably lost in Djeoromitxí. However, it can be clearly seen in Proto-Jê *ʆaɾe / *yaɾe 'id.'.
Ribeiro 2008b: 64. 2D. Related to ħɔ̃bɛ-ka {hõbeka} 'face / forehead / cheek / fish scales'.
Proto-Jabuti:*ka

Ribeiro 2008b: 96.
Proto-Jabuti:*nũtǝ
Voort #145 (*nu(ku)tǝ(rɛ)). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The Arikapú word has been influenced by nduku {duku} 'mouth and lips', acquiring a classifier suffix for worm-like objects. External data correspond perfectly well to the Djeoromitxí form, cf. Proto-Jê *ɲũytʌ.
Voort #85 (*tʃo). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: The comparison is valid if -kɾĩ(h)ɐ̃ {-krĩ(h)ã} is a suffix in Arikapú.

Word:go
Arikapu:pɾi {pri}1
Ribeiro 2008: 135. Distinct from hɛɾɐ̃=mũ {herãmũ} [Ribeiro 2008: 69] (centrifugal). In [Arikapú et al. 2010: 35] it is translated as 'to swim / to follow / to catch / to receive'. Cf. hǝ̃ {hä̃} 'to go, to want to go' [Arikapú et al. 2010: 15], kǝɾǝy {käräy} 'to walk' [Ribeiro 2008: 86].

Ribeiro 2008b: 59.
Proto-Jabuti:*čǝ
Voort #218 (*tʃǝ...). Distribution: Preserved in this meaning only in Arikapú, narrowing its meaning to 'to cook' in Djeoromitxí. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: Polysemy: 'warm / to burn' is reconstructed. Apparently, the word for 'fire' is also derived from this root.
Ribeiro 2008b: 49. The morphological segmentation is unclear. Distinct from ʔi {i} 'liquid' [Ribeiro 2008b: 70].
Proto-Jabuti:*nbi
Voort #5 (*miru). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular.

Number:100
Word:yellow
Arikapu:ndũnbu-ɔ {dũbuo}1
Ribeiro 2008: 53. Derived from ndũnbu {dũbu} 'pale, yellow'. Arikapú et al. [2010: 12] attest ndunbu {dubu} 'yellow' and ndunbu-ɔ {dubuo} 'blue, green'.
Djeoromitxi:
Not attested. Voort [159] cites b͡zidu {bzidu}; it is uncertain to what extent the material cited there is credible.

Ribeiro 2008b: 81.
Proto-Jabuti:*komɨ̃ ~ *kumɨ̃
Voort #200 (*kumɨ̃). Distribution: The root is preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The vowel correspondence in the first syllable is slightly irregular. The denasalization in Djeoromitxí is unexpected.

Number:105
Word:short
Arikapu:ɾɔ-tɐ̃ {rotã}1
Ribeiro 2008: 144. Technically a negation of ɾɔ {ro} 'to grow'.
Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The Arikapú form presents an additional syllable in the middle of the root. Other such cases are known (see mouth, tongue). It is uncertain why Proto-Jabutí ǝ was retained after a coronal in Djeoromitxí. Semantics and structure: Polysemy: 'short (of length) / short (of height)' is reconstructible.
Ribeiro 2008: 104; Arikapú et al. 2010: 28 (mɾɐ̃y {mrãy}).
