Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *vrāc-
Meaning : to make marks; to write
Kui : vrīsa (vrīsi-) "to make an incision, furrow or mark, scratch, write, plough, cut up flesh; n. writing"
Kuwi (Schulze) : rācinai "to write, paint, record"
Kuwi (Israel) : rāc- (-it-) "to write"
Additional forms : Also Kui pl. action vrīska (vrīski-); Kuwi_S rāskinai to limn (pl. action of rāc-); ? brīnai to draw
Notes : Kui vocalism is irregular, but external data points to original *-a-; we may suppose analogisation with vrīva 'to break up'.
