\data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *|kxaU
Meaning : snake
Proto-Bushman : *|kxa[U]
Proto-Khoe : *|kxáó
Sandawe : *c̣iga (?)
Notes : For phonetic and semantic reasons, it is more reasonable to think of genetic relationship here than borrowing between Peripheral Khoisan and Khoe. Inclusion of the Sandawe form is very hypothetical, but it does contain a glottalized affricate that could have easily yielded *|kx- under the secondary click formation scenario.
