\data\bush\bshet
Number : 25
Proto-Bushman : *ciʔi
Meaning : to bite; mouth
Khoisan etymology : Khoisan etymology
Proto-Ju : *cʼi
Bushman > Ju : Bushman > Ju
Proto-Taa : *síʔi
Bushman > Taa : Bushman > Taa
Proto-!Wi : *cʔi
Bushman > !Wi : Bushman > !Wi
ǂHoan : *šĩ
Bushman > ǂHoan : Bushman > ǂHoan
Notes : The bisyllabic structure explains the lack of the expected *cʔ > *ǀq development in South Khoisan as well as (possibly) the irregular correspondence between NK and ǂHoan. In NK, the glottal stop was metathesized (as it often happens in click structures of the *ǂVʔV > *ǂʔV type). The development *ci- > ši- in ǂHoan is strange, but there are no counterexamples.
