Proto-Nilgiri : *ēm-
Meaning : to cheat
Kota : ēmār- (ēmāry-) "to gasp (from sudden fright, shock, while dying)"
Toda : ēmōt- (ēmōty-) "to deceive"
Additional forms : Also Kota ēmān- (ēmānd-) to be cheated; be dazed by being caught suddenly in wrongdoing; ēmāt- (ēmāty-) to cheat; ēmātl tricks
Notes : One would normally expect the suffix *-āt_- to appear in the transitive forms, but at least on the PN level it definitely looked like *-āt-. The lack of *ē > ā development in Toda is probably due to a strong -ā- in the second syllable.
Number in DED : 898
