South Khoisan (Taa subgroup) etymology : List with all references

Notes : The nasalisation of the vowel may actually be original, given its presence in both NK and !Wi; however, in NK the root seems to have been extended by means of the suffix *-a-. No reliable external parallels, but comparison with PCK *doa 'kudu' is not out of the question.
