Proto-Gondi : *kōnd-kaj
Meaning : elbow
Gommu Gondi : kunamkay
Maria Gondi : kunaŋkay
Koya Gondi : kunagay
Maria Gondi (Smith) : koondakaiyoo
Notes : The Gondi_Lu_S form is more archaic, as is shown by external data. The form itself literally means 'curved arm' (*kōnd- + *kāy-) and has undergone modifications in Gondi dialects, primarily in the direction *-ndk- > *-nadk- > *-naŋk-, although the reason of *-o- > -u- is not quite clear (probably due to surrounding back consonants).
