Proto-Gondi-Kui : *djol
Meaning : saliva
Notes : The initial cluster was probably preserved in PK (although the exact phonetic character is doubtful). However, the form was reinterpreted as dye+ʔoli, i.e. the old root auslaut was confounded with a derivative suffix. The Konda form dates back to an old plural form (sōŋa < *jol-ŋa).
