Proto-CChadic: *(HV)čVč- (?)
Meaning: 'louse'
Lamang: čáčá [Luk]
Mandara=Wandala: čèča [Mo]
Malgwa: čéčé [Lr]
Glavda: čačà [Rp]
Guduf: c̣ìc̣ā̀ [IL] (? < *HVCVC-)
Gava: cìcà [Kr]
Cineni=Nakatsa: čača [Kr N 184]
Notes: cf. Chadic *ʔitVtV- 'louse'. Palatalization in the mandara gr. is possible, but emphatic c̣- in Guduf rather points to initial ʕ.
