Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *pūnḍ- (caus. *pūṭ-)
Meaning : to yoke
Kui : pūṛpa (pūṛt-), pūṭpa (pūṭt-) "to yoke; bear witness"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : pūthali
Kuwi (Schulze) : pūn- "to wear (bodice, etc.)"
Kuwi (Israel) : pūṭ- (-h-) "to yoke up the oxen"
Additional forms : Also Kui pūnḍa (pūnḍi-) to meet; n. act of meeting; Kuwi_F pondū yoke for cattle
Notes : 'To yoke oxen' = 'to make oxen to meet' or something like that. The vowel -o- in Kuwi_F is not quite clear, and so is Kuwi_S pūn-, which probably is not related.
