Proto-Khoisan : *|[n]u-
Meaning : stone
Proto-Khoisan : *|[n]V-
Meaning : red
Proto-Khoisan : *|NVra
Meaning : separate, divide
Notes : Click efflux correspondences are quite extraordinary here, making the comparison rather flimsy.
Proto-Khoisan : *|oma
Meaning : python
Notes : Very likely an independent borrowing into !Xóõ and =Hoan from a Khoe source (most probably, |Gui, where the word for "python" features an inlaut -m- in the place of Common Khoe *-b- ).
Proto-Khoisan : *|oh
Meaning : to end
Notes : The root is quite weakly represented in all the subbranches, thus not reliable.
Proto-Khoisan : *|qa
Meaning : lower leg, shin
Proto-Khoisan : *|qabV
Meaning : to sprinkle
Notes : Within Khoekhoe, attested only in Nama, so the comparison is rather weak.
Proto-Khoisan : *|qhoʔrV
Meaning : Corallocarpus sp.
Notes : Some secondary contact influence is possible here, but overall the semantics and phonetics of the root in Peripheral Khoisan and Khoe are too different to be easily explained through recent borrowing.
Proto-Khoisan : *|qhu
Meaning : tired
Notes : Borrowing is not likely due to different phonetic peculiarities.
Proto-Khoisan : *|qV
Meaning : rhinoceros
Proto-Khoisan : *|QV [~]
Meaning : heart
Notes : A Peripheral Khoisan-only root.
Proto-Khoisan : *|q̇[a]n
Meaning : blood
Notes : The roots are compatible if *-n and *-o represent old suffixal extensions.
Proto-Khoisan : *|q̇o
Meaning : dry
Notes : See Honken 1998 : 172. Some secondary contact forms may be present, but overall, the root is too widely spread to be completely attributable to diffusion. Proto-Khoisan : *|u
Meaning : dew
Notes : Borrowing is almost excluded due to the complex correspondences between branches. Sandawe c̣exa is easily compatible with a form like Khoe *|kxau ; the same cannot be so easily said about Hadza c̣i , though.
Proto-Khoisan : *|U (?)
Meaning : name
Notes : The connection is not impossible (a little evidence exists that velar affricate effluxes in Khoe may correspond to zero effluxes in Bushman), but still highly tentative at this moment.
Proto-Khoisan : *|U[m]
Meaning : to suck
Proto-Khoisan : *|uti [~]
Meaning : neck
Notes : Attested only in Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *|Ṽ
Meaning : to see
Proto-Khoisan : *|xoa
Meaning : with, by means of
Notes : Most probably just a Khoe root (too weakly represented in North Khoisan, suggesting borrowing from a Khoe source).
Proto-Khoisan : *|1 Ũ
Meaning : to kill
Notes : The comparison is dubious, but if evidence is found that Preipheral Khoisan *! is really *|1 , will become much stronger.
