Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *āR-
Meaning : we (incl.)
Kui : āju "we (incl.; obl. mā-)"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : mārrō
Kuwi (Schulze) : māro
Kuwi (Israel) : māro
Notes : The PK inclusive 1st p. pronoun has to be reconstructed with an inlaut *-R-. As we know, in Kuwi it has the usual reflex -r- (although geminated -rr- in Kuwi_F is strange). In Kui the usual reflex -g- before consonants (which shows that PK *-R- has merged with PK *-ɣ- in this position) alternates with -s- after consonant clusters and -j- after vowels (which shows that in this position it has merged with PK *-y-).
