Proto-Taa : *|qʔùn
Meaning : to make a noise (at)
!Xoong : |qʔùn (ɳ|aV)
References : Traill 65.
Proto-Taa : *|qʔúrV
Meaning : projectile (arrow, bullet, spear)
!Xoong : |qʔúli 1 I, pl. |qʔúlu-tê 4 I
!Xoong derivates : dim. kâ-|qʔúli ʘàa
Notes : The word is almost certainly related to the common Khoisan item *|kxuri "metal, iron, bullet" (cf. Nama, Zhu|'hoan, var. entries in Bleek's dictionary), although suggesting a genetic relationship here would not be prudent. It is, however, interesting to witness !Xóõ -qʔ- as the efflux here instead of the expected -kx-; this indirectly supports the idea that this efflux can regularly correspond to -kx- in North Khoisan.
