Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *kāmb-a
Meaning : handle
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : kamba
Kuwi (Schulze) : kāmba
Notes : Although it is never wise to rely on Schulze's (or Fitzgerald's) data for determining vowel quality, here we prefer to reconstruct an original long vowel because of external data and preservation of length in a closed syllable in Kuwi_S.

Number: 568
Root: genebh-, genobh-
English meaning: a piece of wood
German meaning: `Pflock, Stock, abgeschnittenes Holzstück'??
Material: Nur germanisch, daher wohl kaum idg. Herkunft. Es handelt sich wohl um zwei verschiedene Wortgruppen:
1. Germ. kamb-, kumb- `Klotz, Klumpen, abgeschnittenes Holzstück'.
Ahd. kembil `Fesselblock', kamp `compes', anord. kumbr `Holzklotz' mit germ. -p-: mhd. kumpf `gestutzt, stumpf', engl. chump `Holzklotz' (Anlaut von chop), norw. dial. kump `Klumpen', norw. dän. kamp `Bergkuppe', anord. kǫppusteinn, dän. kampe-sten `Rollstein' usw. Vgl. auch unter gem-.
2. Germ. knab-, knabb-, knap-, knapp- (expressive Geminationen) `Pflock, Stock, Penis, Knabe'.
Mit -b-: nhd. dial. knabe `Stift, Bolzen', ahd. knabo, nhd. Knabe `puer', ags. cnafa ds., woraus engl. cnave `Schurke'; anord. knefill `Stange, Pfahl, Stock', ahd. knebil, mhd. knebel `Кпеbel, Кnöchel' (auch `Schlingel', wie auch norw. knebel), mnd. knevel `kurzes, dickes Querholz, Knebel' und `gedrehte Schnurrbartspitze' (nhd. `Knebelbart'), schwed. dial. knavel `dünne Stange';
mit -bb-: schwed. dial. knabbe `Knollen, Klumpen', auch `untersetzter Bursche, Rind, Stier'; knabb `Pflock' (norw. `Bergkuppe');
mit -p-: ags. cnapo, as. knapo `junger Mann, Diener', schwed. dial. knape `Pflock' und `Knoten';
mit -pp-: nhd. dial. Knappe `Fuß, Stütze einer Bank', ahd. knappo `Jüngling, Knabe', nhd.Knappe, schwed. dial. knappe `Pflock, Holzklotz';
manchmal sind obige Formen von den Ableitungen von gn-ebh- `zusammendrücken' (oben S. 370) kaum zu unterscheiden; vgl. oben (S. 370) anord. knappr usw.;
ags. cenep, afries. kenep, anord. kanpr `Schnurrbart' (germ. *kanipa-), wozu wohl mnd. kenneve `Halsblock', mnl. kanef-been `Kinnlade' sind wohl irgendwie mit ĝenu- `Kinn' (unten S. 381 f.) kontaminiert.

Proto-North Caucasian: *ɦq̇wĭnV̆
Meaning: nail, peg
Notes: A rather typical example of the *HCVRV̆ root structure. The Darg. form has a rather complicated history: it is probably a dissimilated plural form (*ʁIam-bV < *q̇em-bV with secondary pharyngealization before a front vowel), supplied additionally by a suffixed *-l.
