PROTO: *ʕănƛ̣V ( ~ -ŏ-, -ü-)
MEANING: a detail of a spindle
COMMENT: The PC and Agul forms are no doubt related. We should note, however, that PTs *ʕɔ̃ƛ̣ means both 'spindle' and 'handle', the latter certainly going back to PEC *ʕülƛ̣_wɨ̆ 'handle' (q.v.). If we assume that the Agul form also goes back to *ʕülƛ̣_wɨ̆ (with an irregular development of *ƛ̣w in a tense word - -k:- would be regularly expected), the reconstruction *ʕănƛ̣V should be abandoned.
