Proto-CChadic: *ʔa(m)b-

Afroasiatic etymology: Afroasiatic etymology

Meaning: 'elephant/hippopotamus'

Gisiga: ʔabu 'hippopotamus' Bl. Eleph., 202; together with ngabu called "the later loans...from Ful", which is obviously so in the latter case (Ful ngabu, pl. gabi), but hardly so in case of ʔabu.

Buduma=Yedina: ambu 'elephant' Bl. Eleph. 198 apud Sölken; comp. to Log. nevi, Makeri árfu, etc.; Ngala ambu (also amwe, anwe) Porkh., 34

Notes: Both Blaz. Eleph., 198 and Porkh., 34 unite all Kotoko forms reconstructing *ʔarbu/i (Blazek, ibid.) and *Vr(V)pV (Porkh. ibid.; irregularity of the reflexes of *p is is explained by the "combinatorial influence of the sonant", which is far from convincing). One cannot exclude two (or even three) different roots

Kusseri: ʔàrvǝ̀y [T 2001: 6]

Afade: ʔárfǝ́y 'elephant', Makeri ʔàrfǝ̀w [T 2001: 6]

Notes: Both Blazek (Blaz. Eleph., 198) and Porkhomovsky (Porkh., 34-35) unite these forms with Buduma ambu, Log. nevi (Blazek with reservations), Ngala anwe, etc., which is difficult to prove because of markedly irregular reflexes; Blazek reconstructs *ʔarbu/i (not convincing since *-b- in Kotoko group does not yield -f-), and Porkhomovsky, *VrVpV; according to Stolbova's correspondences (Stolb. 1996, 99), rather <*-f-.
