Proto-Gondi-Kui : *noḷ-
Meaning : to bail (water), draw out
Notes : The original form was preserved in PK. In other groups *noḷ- was used only with suffixes, so PPM *noḷ-nj- > *nḷo-nj- > *ṛonj-; PG *noḷ-nj-k- > *nḷo-s-k- > *ḷosk-. In Konda the form lo- (causative type, from *noḷp-) probably developed by analogy with lonz- < *noḷ-nj-. There is no need to suggest that the root was originally bisyllabic, especially since it is clearly monosyllabic in PK.
