Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *pan-a
Meaning : frog
Kui : pana "frog, toad"
Kuwi (Schulze) : panna
Sunkarametta Kuwi : panna
Dongriya Kuwi : beṭka
Kuwi (Israel) : pana
Notes : Kuwi_D beṭka MUST be a borrowing (maybe from forms like Gadba panḍake??), for every other Khond dialect always yields a pana-type form, and it would be folly to suggest a similar development in a dozen dialects. Gemination in Kuwi_Su is not quite clear, since this dialect does not normally have geminates (in fact, this is the only case of a -nn- in Kuwi_Su).
Number in DED : 3955
