Gondwan etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Gondi-Kui : *gaṭ-
Meaning : bank (of river); dam
Notes : Unluckily, this root was widely contaminated with *kaṭ- 'to fasten, tie'. It is not excluded that the root's primary meaning was exclusively 'bank', 'dam' being derived from *kaṭ-; this would make the contamination even easier. Anyway, while in PK and Konda the original opposition seems to have been preserved, it was entirely lost in Gondi (see under *kaṭ-) and probably lost in PPM (if Pengo kaṭa is not a borrowing).

Kui-Kuwi etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *gaṭ-
Meaning : boundary, bund; to tie
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : gāttū (pl. gāttūŋa, gātka) "boundary"
Kuwi (Schulze) : gatti kīnai "to tie"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : gaṭṭu (pl. gaṭka) "bund of field"
Kuwi (Israel) : gaṭu "boundary, beach, shore; end of a table, field, etc."
Additional forms : Also Kuwi_F kādagattu bank of river; Kuwi_Isr geṭu backload; geṭu ki- to carry something on the back
Notes : A good initial PK voiced *g-. Kuwi_Isr geṭu probably does not belong here. The vowel length in Kuwi_F is irregular and it is clearly seen from the presence of the geminated -tt-. The regular variant is found in kādagattu. Burrow and Emeneau join this root with Kui kāṭ- 'to fasten', but this is incorrect.
