Kui-Kuwi etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *vig-, *vik-a
Meaning : to roof, thatch
Kui : vega (vegi-) "to roof, thatch; n. act of thatching, putting on a roof"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : vīgali "to thatch"
Kuwi (Schulze) : wikka illu "thatched house"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : vig- (-it-) "to thatch"
Kuwi (Israel) : vig- (-it-) "to thatch"
Additional forms : Also Kui vīa thatch, thatch grass; vīori (pl. vīoraka) thatch; Kuwi_F vīka thatch; Kuwi_Su vikka roof; Kuwi_Isr viʔuri (pl. vika) grass for thatching house
Notes : There are a few irregularities in vocalism here (-e- in Kui, which may be a misspelling as well as some kind of positional variant; long vowel in Kuwi_F, which is often written instead of a short one), but it is the consonantism that is most interesting. The verbal root is *vig-; however, the nominal forms ('thatch') have an auslaut *-k-, preserved in most dialects. Being joined with the suffix *-ʔori, it falls out and sometimes influences the simple form (vīa in Kui has been most certainly developed by analogy with vīori). Both variants certainly go back to a single root, but *vik- is probably an old suffixal form, where the suffix (maybe an old *-s- or something like that) has fallen out after devoicing the auslaut consonant.
