Protoform: *q̇ʷanaƛ:a
Meaning: relative, kinsman
Chamalal: unaƛ: (Gig.)
Tindi: ʔʷanaƛ:a
Comments: The term can be analyzed as a genitive case form from *q̇ʷoni 'head' (q.v.) - this probably influenced the retention of the Inlaut lateral (otherwise PA *-k- would be expected), but is obviously a folk etymology.
