Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *(ʔi-n)gur(gur)-
Meaning: knee; foot
Notes: Note a stunning (chance?) similarity between S. Cush. and E. Chad. (Sokoro) in: (1) reduplication, (2) inserted -n- (a variant stem *gurungurun- to be reconstructed as common Afras.?), and (3) the enigmatic -d- of the last syllable. / / Cf. [HSED 962]: S. Cush. and Sokoro. / / Cf. Sum. GÌR /ŋir/ 'leg, foot' [AHw 1214]
