Hadza : *kʷaƛ̣a (?)

Notes : The Sandawe form is quite compatible with Khoe and Peripheral Khoisan reflexes, through secondary click formation: *ƛ̣VḳVmV > *ƛkVmV > *||VmV, etc. The status of the Hadza form is less clear. Peripheral Khoisan forms are clearly not borrowed from Khoe (different semantics and phonetics).
