Macro-Khoisan etymology :

Proto-Khoisan : *ƛ[a]u
Meaning : hand
Notes : One of the few examples on possible lateral affricates in Proto-Khoisan. =Hoan šiu has been suggested as a borrowing from |Gwi cáú by H. Honken, but this is rather unlikely, since it corresponds with perfect regularity to North Khoisan *ɡ!̯au, whereas no other examples of |Gwi c- being represented in borrowings by =Hoan š- are available. We are rather dealing with similar, but independent phonetic developments from the same Proto-Khoisan root here.
