Proto-Hadza : *miƛ̣a
Meaning : bone
Hadza : mitɫ'a (E., S.); mítl'â_ (TBW)
Notes : Cf. such Afro-Asiatic forms as Dahalo miĉ̣ĉ̣o, Ongota mič̣a, etc. The Hadza word is unquestionably related, but it is unclear whether through an old borrowing or genetic connection (note that Hadza's closest Cushitic "donors", Iraqw and Qwadza, do not have these forms).
