Khuttia Kui : guṭa

Sunkarametta Kuwi : guṭṭu (pl. guṭka) "stump of tree, stubble of paddy"

Kuwi (Israel) : kuḍuli "log"

Notes : Irregular vowel length in Kui. I strongly suspect that kuḍuli in Kuwi_Isr is a borrowing from SDR, not only because its semantics is specific among the other CDR languages (where the meaning is always 'stump'), but mostly because of an unexplained initial voiceless k- (the regular form would be *guṭ-, cf. gaṭu 'boundary' < *gaṭ-).
