Proto-South Cushitic: *ʔaʔat-
Meaning: 'sheep'
Qwadza (Ngomvia): aʔato 'sheep' Ehr. HRSC 276
Notes: Acc. to Ehr. HRSC, 276, <*ʔaʔ-at- or *ʕaʔ-at- 'sheep'; combimed with Asa ʔaʔaku 'sheep' and Maʔa amo 'goat' (<*ʔa-mo?). Though Asa may be from *ʔaʔa-ku and well compatible with Qdz. aʔato (<*ʔaʔat-), -t in Auslaut in the latter makes me separate these two, probably eventually related forms.
