Kui-Kuwi etymology : Query result

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *ambeli

Meaning : porridge prepared with ragi flour

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kuwi (Israel) : ambeli

Number in DED : 174

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *amb-u

Meaning : arrow

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : āmbu (pl. āpka) "arrowhead"

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : ambū (pl. apka) "arrowhead"

Kuwi (Schulze) : ambu "bow"

Sunkarametta Kuwi : ambu (pl. apka)

Kuwi (Israel) : ambu (pl. apka)

Additional forms : Also Kui (Friend-Pereira) ambu arrow

Notes : Winfield has an extremely strange ā- which is supported neither by Kuwi forms, nor by external data, nor even by the Friend-Pereira grammar. One of the possible explanations is compensatory lengthening in the plural (resulting from *-mbk- > -pk-) which by analogy has been generalized.

Number in DED : 178

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *amma

Meaning : maternal relation

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : ama, amali, amadi "father's sister, maternal uncle's wife, lady"

Additional forms : Also Kuwi_F aṇḍatasi partner; andivi aiyali to be friendly; Kuwi_F antū menses; Kuwi_S aṭhinai to add; Kuwi_Isr aṭ- (-h-) to mix (tr.)

Notes : Both Kuwi_F aṇḍatasi and antū are probably borrowings. Kuwi_S andinai is probably misspelled (*anḍinai should be expected; only one such case). The same problem arises with Kuwi_S aṭhinai: retroflex consonants are extremely rare in this dialect, and we should expect (at least, in the transcription), a simple dental. This way, the retroflex here is either misspelled or, if the word itself is a new borrowing or influenced by some other dialect or language, probably obligatory in a relatively new word-formation.

Notes : In Kuwi_F -v- would be expected, since -w- usually goes back to epenthetic *-w-; probably a misspelling or positional variant.

Notes : The variant found with a short vowel in Kuwi_Su seems to stand isolated against the corresponding data of both Kui and other Kuwi dialects. However, external data indicates that it is this variant that is most archaic. In Kuwi_F we should expect *ādali or, at least, *addali, but instead find a mysterious -rd-.
