Number : 74
Proto-Bushman : *ǀʔɛ
Meaning : fire
Proto-Taa : *ǀʔà
Proto-!Wi : *ǀʔe
ǂHoan : *ɡʘoa [?]
Notes : A SK isogloss, obviously archaic, since it has good external parallels in CK. Within PB, however, the only possible connection is with the ǂHoan form - very dubious because neither the click efflux nor the vocalism do not correspond well.

Proto-!Wi : *|ʔe
Meaning : fire
|Xam : |i (B.); |i, |ḗ (Ll.)
//Ng : |i
N|huki : ŋ̊|ʔi
#Khomani : |ʔi (Mg.)
//Kxau : |ʔi+
//Ku//e : |e; |i (B.)
Seroa : |ei
!Gã!ne : |i; |ā "to burn" (?)
//Xegwi (Batwa) : |e, |i ; |ʔe (LH)
|Auni : |i
|Haasi : |i
|Nusan : |ī
Notes : The !Gã!ne form |a "burn" is unclear. On one hand, it has no other etymology, but on the other hand, the difference in vocalism is unclear (the form *|a for this root is very clearly a Taa, not a !Wi, feature).

Proto-Khoisan : *|ʔe
Meaning : fire
Notes : An impressive match between South Khoisan and Khoe, although the word is not attested in North Khoisan. The contact scenario is not very realistic (the word is easily reconstructible on the deepest levels of both families and belongs to the basic lexicon).
