South Khoisan (Taa subgroup) etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Taa : *ǂáʔ
Stems : *ǂáʔ-na
Meaning : black
!Xoong : ǂáʔŋa kú -sà
Masarwa : |k"a (?); dani (?)
|Nu//en : ǂkana
!Xoong derivates : ǂābe 3 e/u I (sg. and pl.), dim. ǂáu-bâ 3 I, ǂã́-nî 2 I "black person"
Notes : The Masarwa forms are unclear; initial d-, in particular, is known to be sometimes transcribed by Bleek insead of the voiced lateral click, but here we have a voiceless palatal one. (On the other hand, the palatal click is almost never transcribed in Masarwa - in most cases, it seems to be realized as either the alveolar or the lateral one).
