Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *trig-
Meaning : to shiver, tremble
Kui : tirga (tirgi-) "to shiver, tremble; n. shivering, trembling"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : tṛīgali "to shiver"
Kuwi (Schulze) : trīginai "to tremble"
Kuwi (Israel) : trig- (-it-) "to shiver"
Additional forms : Also Kui trikna in a startled manner; triki inba to be startled
Notes : The variant *trig- is probably primary here; in Kui it probably > *tirg- because of the short vowel. However, this is not certain; although the nearest relatives do have trig- (so in Pengo and Manda), other CDR languages have tirg- (Konda and Kolami-Gadba). Indeed, there may have been a variation.
