Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *ō-
Meaning : to take away, remove
Kui : ōva (ōt-)
Khuttia Kui : to take away (things), take, receive
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : oiyali (ō-)
Additional forms : Also Kui opa (ot-) to lead away, take away (persons); n. act of leading away
Notes : An interesting interpretation of the causative form: 'take away' - 'lead away' instead of 'make to take away'. The form itself is slightly irregular (*ōppa < *ōv+pa would be expected); this suggests that it is somewhat more archaic than the regular innovations, maybe dating from a Proto-Kui period when there was no epenthetic -v- in the verbal noun.
Number in DED : 984
