Kui-Kuwi etymology : Query result

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *pṇāʔji

Meaning : old

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : pṛāḍi

Khuttia Kui : pṛāk- "(food) to become stale"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : prā'i

Kuwi (Mahanti) : pṇā'ī

Kuwi (Israel) : pṇaʔayi

Additional forms : Also Kuwi_F prā'asi an old-timer

Notes : The reconstruction *pṛ-, which probably would agree better with external data, is impossible because of -ṇ- in Kuwi_Isr (cf. examples on PK *gṇ-). The inlaut cluster is reconstructed as *-ʔy-.

Number in DED : 3999

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *poḍ-li (?)

Meaning : short; dwarf

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : boṭoli "short, thickset, stumpy"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : pōtila "a short man, a dwarf"

Kuwi (Israel) : pōṭila "a short man, a dwarf"

Additional forms : Also Kuwi_F fem. pōti (pl. pōtisika)

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *pojr-

Meaning : mother-in-law

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : pōra "wife's elder sister"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : poiya (pl. poiyasika)

Dongriya Kuwi : pōra "wife's mother"

Kuwi (Israel) : pōya

Notes : The cluster *-yr- is reconstructed here on the basis of external data (cf. Gondi pōyaṛ, Manda pūdaṛ id.) and also matches the correspondences in 1615. Joining it with *potl- 'father-in-law', as B&E do, is probably justified on a higher level, but not here.

Sunkarametta Kuwi : por- (-h-) "to wrap around oneself, wear (cloak)"

Kuwi (Israel) : por- (-h-) "to put on wrap (clothing)"

Notes : It is not excluded that the root was originally *porb-; this would explain the Kuwi forms (if the labials there are not suffixes).

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *por-nd- (caus. *prot-)

Meaning : to ignite

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : pronda (prondi-) "to be alight"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : porndali "to be lit"

Kuwi (Schulze) : proth'nai

Kuwi (Israel) : prond- (-it-) "to be alight"

Additional forms : Also Kui prospa (prost-) to light up, ignite; n. igniting, lighting up; brōḍa (brōḍi-) to be burned to ashes, be scattered (smoke); pl. action brōṭka (brōṭki-); tr. brōṭpa (brōṭt-); brōṇda (brōnḍi-) to smoulder, be fanned into flame; pl. action brōṭka (brōṭki-); tr. brōṭpa (brōṭt-); brūḍa (brūḍi-) to be scattered (dust, ashes); pl. action brūṭka (brūṭki-); tr. brūṭpa (brūṭt-); Kuwi_F pṛothali to light; Kuwi_Isr prot- (-h-) to light

Notes : There is still some doubt on the existence of the suffix *-ḍ- in PK or in Kui; but there is absolutely no doubt about the existence of the suffix *-nḍ-. Therefore, the numerous secondary forms in Kui can be explained as suffixal derivations. The base itself was monosyllabic (*por-, not *pro-), since there is no evidence in Kui for a form like *prōva; therefore, Kuwi_F porndali is archaic. This also explains voicening in Kui.
