\data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *[ŁV]ma (?)
Meaning : head
Proto-Bushman : *ɳ|ʷa-
Proto-Khoe : *mâ
Hadza : *ƛ̣oma
Notes : This is a rather forced parallel; the Hadza word is more easily comparable to certain Omotic forms, Khoe *mâ may be indicative of Niger-Congo substrate (several Khoe roots in *m- have good correlates in Niger-Congo, but not in other Khoisan languages), and labialization in the Peripheral Khoisan word may be due to some old vocalic peculiarities. Nevertheless, for lack of certainty, we leave the comparison as it is for now.
