Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *suR-/*sūḍ-
Meaning : to roast, burn
Kui : subga (< sug-b-; sugd-) "to roast; n. roasting"
Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : hūdali "to burn"
Kuwi (Schulze) : hūtinai "to burn, kindle"
Sunkarametta Kuwi : hūḍ- (-it-) "to burn, shoot with gun"
Notes : Although Kui and Kuwi forms evidently contain different consonants, there is still some reason to trace them back to a single gradation *-R-/*-ḍ-, since such a gradation is common for this root in many other Dravidian languages (cf., for instance, in Kurukh: kuṛ-nā - kuṭṭ-as).
