Proto-Gondi-Kui : *al-
Meaning : to weave, plait
Notes : Although the resonant here is most certainly a plain dental -l-, it becomes retroflex in Konda (cf. especially such derivative forms as aṛpa-). This is not quite clear; maybe it is a general feature of *-l- before the causative marker. Unfortunately, this is the only example of such a cluster (in a few other cases we have no BB forms with -ṛ-, which are diagnostic).
