\data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *ɡ|a
Meaning : leaf
Proto-Bushman : *ɡ|ana
Proto-Khoe : *|gàná
Sandawe : *|ā
Hadza : *c̣a (?)
Notes : A good example of a "primordial click" root, and also one which convincingly matches across both Peripheral Khoisan and Khoe as well as Sandawe without looking like a borrowing due to non-trivial correspondences. The Hadza word, as usual, is less easy to be aligned along with the rest of the forms for both phonetic and semantic reasons.
