Комментарии: The second case of PK *y-, this time before a long vowel. In Kuwi the reflexation *yā- > *e- is stable (although Kuwi_F has short e-, while Kuwi_S has long ē-); in Kui the usual reflexation is a-; however, the original *y- is betrayed by forms like inavani, which probably have preserved traces of *y- because of old reduction *yānavani > *yanavani > *inavani. The pronoun was used as the inanimated 'what' in PK.
