Dongriya Kuwi : dre- (-t-)

Notes : The Kuwi_D form is extremely archaic, since it alone preserves the old -r- that has fallen out in all other dialects (in fact, this is a serious isogloss separating Dongriya Kuwi from all other Kuwi dialects). Formally the protoform should have been *dRä-, but since Kuwi_D material is extremely scarce and we only consider it an auxiliary dialect, the protoform is still being put down as *dä-.
