Proto-Nilgiri : *vIl-ä

Notes : The derivative *vil-ai is the most interesting part about this root: most of the umlaut languages show umlaut tendencies here, as if it was a derivative of an unpreserved verb *vil-ai- 'to pay' (nominal suffixal *-ai rarely causes umlaut). Toda, however, stands out, since pɨl cannot go back to a verbal base *vil-ai-.
