Protoform: *ḳ:ʷa- (~-o-)
Meaning: 1 to kill 2 to hammer in, kill (with a gun)
Andian language: ḳ:ʷab-d- 1
Tindi: k:ʷē- 2
Karata: ḳ:ʷab- 1
Godoberi: k:ʷan- 1
Comments: All languages reflect "stem II" with different suffixes (*ḳ:ʷa-d-, *ḳ:ʷa-b- or *ḳ:ʷa-m-; cf. also Kar. Tok. ḳ:um-). The suffixless (but reduplicated) root is probably present in Tind. k:ʷak:ʷa-ʎa 'to knock'. In And. the root is used only by women (as opposed to ǯab- q.v.).
