Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *kōṛ-[g-]
Meaning : young; to sprout
Kui : koṛgi "newly sprouted, green, immature, unripe"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : khrogi kōma "a soft twig"
Tekriya Kuwi : koṛgi "young (of children)"
Kuwi (Israel) : kṛōgi "immature, young"
Additional forms : Also Kui koṛgari (pl. koṛgai) new shoot, fresh stalk, something green, immature, or unripe; kōṛu new shoot, fresh stalk, stem or bud; new, green, immature; kōṛa a shoot, sprout, first sprout (of paddy after planting); kōṛa koḍa to sprout (of paddy); kōna bud; gōṇi sprout, offshoot
Notes : The original root is preserved in Kui kōṛu, etc.; the addition of the suffix caused loss of length in Kui and metathese in Kuwi. If the last two Kui words belong here, they should go back to *kōṛṇ-, with loss of -ṛ- and voicening of the initial consonant. Putting this root together with *kuṛya 'wife' may be justified on a higher level, but absolutely incorrect for PK.
