Proto-Gondi-Kui : *dup-
Meaning : bush, shrub; nest
Notes : Various assimilations, progressive as well as regressive, tend to obscure the root's consonantism. The form dupa by itself is only fixed in Konda by Burrow and Bhattacharya and in Kuwi_Isr, but it is the different types of assimilation that give away the original root structure.
