Kui-Kuwi etymology : Query result

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *sūc-

Meaning : leech

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : hūta

Kuwi (Schulze) : hutta, hūci

Sunkarametta Kuwi : huṭṭa

Parja Kuwi : huṭṭa

Notes : The form hūci, witnessed only in Kuwi_S, is a good Proto-Khond lexeme (with parallels in Konda and Pengo), while the other forms, although more frequent, are unparalleled. This makes me suggest that these are produced by contamination of the old form hūci with the verb *uṇ-/*uṭ-p- 'to drink, suck'. Otherwise it would be possible to think of an old suffixal development, like *hūc-t- > *huṭ-; however, such a suffix is unknown to me.

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *sūp-

Meaning : to spit

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : sūpa (sūpi-) "to spit; n. expectoration"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : hūpali

Kuwi (Schulze) : hūpinai "to spew"

Sunkarametta Kuwi : hūp- (-it-)

Notes : The form dopoki is strange; although it certainly belongs to the same root (which has initial *t- in other languages), it cannot be exactly related to other Kui and Kuwi forms. It is probably borrowed from Telugu.

Notes : The inlaut consonant is unclear: on one hand, it could be reconstructed as *-r-, with further assimilation to initial s- in Kuwi, on the other hand, if it should be reconstructed as *-s-, it could be assimilated to the suffixal *-ṛ- in Kui. A pity there are no good external parallels.
