\data\bush\bshet
Number : 268
Proto-Bushman : *ɳ!ʷhobV (?)
Meaning : to misunderstand, speak a foreign language
Proto-Ju : *ɳ!hoba
Bushman > Ju : Bushman > Ju
Proto-Taa : *ʘnô̰
Bushman > Taa : Bushman > Taa
Notes : The comparison is not ideal since the NK click is almost certainly alveolar, not retroflex (cf. the dialectal data). However, the root structure and the perfect semantic correlation make the etymology more than reliable.
