Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *gōṇ-/*gṇōŋ- (caus. *gṇōk-)
Meaning : muddy
Kui : glōnga (glōngi-) "to be muddy, turbid, impure; n. turbidity"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : gōr̃r̃o/goṛṛo/gorro
Kuwi (Schulze) : gōna ēyu "muddy water"
Kuwi (Israel) : gṇok- "to stir things in hot water"
Additional forms : Also Kui glōpka (< glōk-p-; glōkt-) to make muddy or turbid, adulterate, use bad language against; n. act of making turbid, adulteration; Kuwi_S gōno puddle
Notes : The forms in Kui and Kuwi_Isr are verbal derivatives from the original *gōṇ-: *gōṇ-ng- is naturally metathesed in both languages. The development *gṇ- > Kui *gl- is possible, although this is almost the only known case. In Kuwi_F development *-ṇ- > -r-, as in *kiṇ-.
