Proto-Nilgiri : *nā̆n-
Meaning : wet
Kota : nanv- (nand-) "to become wet so as to be softened"
Toda : nōl- (nōd_-) "to get wet in rain, (roof) leaks"
Additional forms : Also Kota nant- (nanty-) to wet thoroughly so as to soften; nān- (nānd_-) to become wet in rain; nānc- (nānc-) to make to be wetted; nāt- (nāty-) to make to become wet in rain; Toda nōt_- (nōt_y-) to make to get wet in rain
Notes : Toda -l- is irregular, but finds confirmation in Kod. nele. Thus, assimilation in Kota (and other SDR languages) is not excluded.
