Proto-Nilgiri : *kāl
Meaning : leg, foot
Kota : kāl "leg, foot, base (of tree), quarter"
Toda : kōl "leg, foot, quarter, family, progeny"
Additional forms : Also Toda kaḍ xōl mox last-born son (for kaḍ, see 1109); kōlk ɨr- (child) sits on mother's leg to defecate; kōs_ excrement; mēṇ gōs_ shade (lit. foot) of tree
Notes : Toda kōl is irregular; if kōs_ "excrement" does somehow belong here (cf. kōlk ɨr-), it represents a more regular reflection of the root. One has to assume influence of Kota or literary languages.
Number in DED : 1479
