Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *mḷi- (caus. *miḷ-)
Meaning : to change, turn
Kui : mlinga (mlingi-) "to be turned over, turn on the side"
Kuwi (Schulze) : mli- "to change"
Kuwi (Israel) : mṇi-/mṛi- (-t-) "to change into (horse, etc.)"
Additional forms : Also Kui mlipka (< mlik-p-; mlikt-) to turn over (tr.), overturn, turn upside down; n. overturning; milpa (milt-/miṭ-) to overturn, change over, turn over; mlīva (mlīt-) to be changed, transformed; n. transformation; Kuwi_S milh'nai, milph'nai to invert; mriphnai id., turn over; Kuwi_Isr mṛip- (-h-) to change into
Notes : In Kuwi_S both the first-syllable-reduced and the second-syllable-reduced variants are present. The form mli- is secondary, since the regular reflexation is *mr-, preserved in mriphnai; it is probably "restored" by analogy.
