Meaning : chin

Kui : ṛapenḍi

Sunkarametta Kuwi : lapeṛi

Kuwi (Mahanti) : ṛapeli

Kuwi (Israel) : lapeṛi

Notes : Suffixes do not match in Kui and Kuwi. Since -nḍi is a much more rare and less productive suffix than -ṛi, I think that the protoform should be reconstructed as *lapenḍi. In Kuwi_Mah a metathese: lapeṛi > ṛapeli.

Notes : A complicated case. First of all, ṛ- is not the regular Kui reflex for PK *l- (ḍ- should be expected, and indeed we find it in ḍēnga). However, there is at least one more example of PK *l- > Kui ṛ- (*lapenḍi 'chin' (5181)). It is not excluded that this development regularly happened in Kui before short vowels, since there are almost no counterexamples (most of these have secondarily shortened vowels in Kui). Second, the auslaut of the root is unclear: Kui and some Kuwi forms point to a vocalic auslaut, while Kuwi_Isr intransitive lej- should be traced back to *lej-. However, the transitive-causative form seems to have a stable *-e- auslaut.

Proto-Kui-Kuwi : *līmb-

Meaning : white ant

Gondwan etymology: Gondwan etymology

Kui : ḍīmbu

Kuwi (Fitzgerald) : limbu "ant's earthwork"

Kuwi (Schulze) : līmpu

Sunkarametta Kuwi : līmbu

Parja Kuwi : lēmpu

Dongriya Kuwi : lēmpu

Notes : Kuwi_D and Kuwi_P probably reflect an earlier variant of this bisyllabic root, namely, *elimbu. This is quite understandable for Kuwi_D - an extremely archaic dialect which has preserved old bisyllabic roots in a much better state than others, but unexplainable for Kuwi_P; we may suggest dialectal interaction. Inlaut -mp- in some dialects is not quite clear as well.
