Notes : The only problem here is Kuwi_F brīphali, because of an unexplained voicening and, moreover, the ONLY case when the causative -p- is preserved. Indeed, it seems so strange, that the form could gladly be accepted as a borrowing, were a possible source known. The only possible source, however, is only Kui plīpa, with -p- reinterpretated as part of the root. The form itself, however, is also secondary, since the archaic causative form should be *pilpa.
