Bushman > Ju : Bushman > Ju

Proto-Taa : *ɡǀǀkxóni

Proto-Taa : *!xṍ

Proto-!Wi : *!u

Bushman > !Wi : Bushman > !Wi

Notes : The efflux is somewhat unclear, but it should be noted that in NK the variants with *-h- and *-x- are in constant fluctuation; if the *-x-variant is primary, the comparison is perfectly justified. The !Wi entry is very dubious.

Proto-!Wi : *tu

Bushman > !Wi : Bushman > !Wi

Notes : In PPK - possibly the suppletive plural for *ža 'person' (as attested in !Xóõ and several other SK languages). The strange tonal distinction between the sg. and pl. forms of the root in Zhuǀ'hoan has yet to be explained.

Proto-Ju : *ɳ!̯ui

Bushman > Ju : Bushman > Ju

Proto-Taa : *ʔ!nā^h (?)

Bushman > Taa : Bushman > Taa

Notes : Isolated PNK root with good correspondences in PCK. The diphthong *-oi- is suggested by external data; if the !Xóõ word belongs here, *-ɔi- may be a better reconstruction.
