South Khoisan (Taa subgroup) etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Taa : *ɡ|ūh
Stems : *si-ɡ|ūh
Meaning : bird
!Xoong : ɡ|ūhʔu 3 I, pl. ɡ|ūhʔã-tê 2 I
Masarwa : ši||gu
|Nu//en : si=|kou; (?) ši-ʘpwo
!Xoong derivates : dim. kâ-ɡ|ūhʔu ʘâa, pl. ɡ|ūhʔã-tê ʘʔâni
Notes : The Masarwa and |Nu//en forms are preceded by the prefixal element si- (ši-) that is also found in other bird names. The Masarwa entry really belongs here only if the lateral click had been erroneously transcribed by Bleek instead of the dental one (a rare, but possible situation - cf. |nyle, ||nyle 'stone').
