Proto-Dravidian : *alái-
Meaning : to wave, move from side to side, wander
Notes : A good PDR root with many suffixal derivatives (*ala-ŋ-, *ala-mb-) and rather wide-reaching semantics. Occasional contaminations with *alá- 'to suffer, be confused' are noted. Not all the forms in DEDR 240 can actually belong here without violating correspondences: e. g. Kui lānga 'to be fickle, changeable' should be discarded because Kui l- < PGn (PDR) *ḷ-, whereas alveolar l usually yields ḍ- or ṛ- when found in initial position. // Present in 3/6 branches.
