Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *sūp-
Meaning : to spit
Kui : sūpa (sūpi-) "to spit; n. expectoration"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : hūpali
Kuwi (Schulze) : hūpinai "to spew"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : hūp- (-it-)
Kuwi (Mahanti) : dopoki "spittle"
Kuwi (Israel) : hūp- (-it-)
Additional forms : Also Kuwi_F hūpki aiyali to vomit; Kuwi_S hūpkinai to vomit; hūpki vomiting; Kuwi_Su hūpka (pl.) saliva, spittle; Kuwi_Isr hūpki- to vomit; hūpka vomit, spittle
Notes : The form dopoki is strange; although it certainly belongs to the same root (which has initial *t- in other languages), it cannot be exactly related to other Kui and Kuwi forms. It is probably borrowed from Telugu.
