Additional forms : Also Kui_P nilpa (nilt-) to stand, be set up; Kuwi_F niphali, Kuwi_S niph'nai to cause to stand; Kuwi_Isr caus. nip- (-h-)

Notes : The seemingly unexplainable mess of correspondences eventually can be satisfactorily explained by the cluster *-lc-. In Kui *-lc- > *-c-, which regularly > *-s-. The causative form *nilc-p- > *nil-p-. In Proto-Kuwi the causative form has taken over the simple one, which explains the t-conjugation. Besides that, the following changes have happened: a) the final cluster *-lc- was lost in all dialects, so that the root has received a vocalic auslaut; b) in some dialects traces of this cluster were preserved in the reduced variant *nilc-p- > *nīl-p- > *nlī-p- > *lī-. On the external level this cluster is proved by forms like Gondi nilsp- 'to make to stand' and, more significant, by NDR.
