Proto-Gondi-Kui : *vēṭ-
Meaning : hunting
Proto-Pengo-Manda : *bēṭ Notes : Initial *b- in both PPM and PK, as Burrow and Emeneau state, is due to re-borrowing of both items from local Oriya, where it has been in turn borrowed previously with an initial b-. Actually, one can speak rather of Oriya influence on the form than of a direct borrowing.
