Afitti: kárnd̪à ²

Stevenson 2000: 105. Allegedly distinct from árǝ̀k 'stomach' [ibid.]. It is, however, precisely that second word that is listed as árik 'abdomen' in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159]. Cf., however, kárnd̪à 'belly' vs. buš 'intestines' in [Rilly 2009: 523].

Stevenson 2000: 105; Rilly 2009: 486.

Number: 9

Ama: wílì ~ wúlì ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. In [Stevenson 1957: 171], transcribed as wʋli ~ wıli. Quoted as wili in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159]; as wúlí ~ wílí in [Rilly 2009: 507].

Number: 11

Word: breast

Ama: tulum # ¹

Only attested in the old source [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159], so somewhat dubious. The equivalent for 'female breast' is most likely kāšì [Stevenson 2000: 105], quoted as kaši 'breast' in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159] and as káší in [Rilly 2009: 510]. The additional form kɔfurka 'breast' in [Stevenson 2000: 105] seems actually to be an Afitti form (see notes on Afitti). (although in [Stevenson 1957: 172], the form kɔfʋrka is actually listed as Afitti).

Afitti: kɔfurka # ²

Stevenson 1957: 172 (transcribed as kɔfʋrka). Listed as kɔfurka in [Stevenson 2000: 105] under Nyimang, though the form is actually Afitti. This is further confirmed by its earlier attestation as kofurkáː 'chest' in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159]. Distinct from kásɛ̀ 'breast' (most likely, female) in [Stevenson 2000: 105; Rilly 2009: 510], quoted as kasi in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159].

Number: 12

Word: burn tr.

Ama: swī-ɛ̀ ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. Cf. paradigmatic information in [Stevenson et al. 1992: 51]: indefinite swì, definite swī-ɛ̀. Distinct from the intransitive 'to burn': indefinite kw=ōsʋ̀n, definite t̪=ōsʋ̀n [ibid.].

Afitti: t̪=òʓ-ì ²

Stevenson 2000: 105. The imperfective stem is glossed as t̪=òs-ì [ibid.]. Cf. paradigmatic information in [Stevenson et al. 1992: 42]: imperative t̪=òʓ-ì, present g=ōʓ-ı̀l, past t̪=òʓ-ù. Distinct from 'to kindle, light fire (tr.)': imperative t̪=òs-ì, present k=ōs-ı̀l, past t̪=òs-ù [ibid.].

Number: 13

Word: claw(nail)

Ama: fálɛ̀ ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. Quoted as fàlì, Mandal dialect fālē in [Rilly 2009: 492].

Afitti: fálà ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. Quoted as fālá in [Rilly 2009: 492]. Distinct from sɔ̀ŋgé 'hoof' [ibid.].

Number: 14

Word: cloud

Ama: árīŋ=ò=kwòl ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. Literally = 'sky's fat'. Quoted as árīŋ-ɔ̀ kwúl in [Rilly 2009: 489]. For the Mandal dialect, Rilly [ibid.] lists the form d̪ɔ́íd ~ d̪ɔ́íd̪í, transparently borrowed from Hill Nubian.

Afitti: lēʓá ²

Stevenson 2000: 105; Rilly 2009: 489.

Number: 15

Word: cold

Ama: kwɛ̄=šìl ~ kwɔ̄=šìl ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. The first syllable seems to be of prefixal origin: cf. the derivation of this word from šil 'fresh' in [Stevenson 1957: 174]. For the Mandal dialect, Rilly quotes the form kāùrìg, most likely borrowed from Hill Nubian [Rilly 2009: 459].

Afitti: kwɔlŋga ~ kwɔlǝŋga ²

Stevenson 2000: 105. Also ɔrɛʔ-ɔrɛk id. (semantic difference is unknown). In [Rilly 2009: 459], only this latter equivalent is listed, in the form ɔ̄rɛ̄-ɔ̄rɛ̀-g, and is explained as a borrowing from Hill Nubian (cf. Proto-Hill Nubian *orog 'cold').

Number: 16

Word: come

Ama: kwùd̪ù ¹

Stevenson 2000: 105. Indefinite stem. Transcribed simply as kwu in [Stevenson 1957: 178].

Quoted as indefinite kūd̪ū, definite t̪=ɔ̄r (Mandal dialect: indefinite kūd, definite t̪=ɔ̄r) in [Rilly 2009: 522].

Afitti: t̪=àr ²

Stevenson 2000: 105. Initial t̪= is most likely of prefixal origin. Cf. paradigmatic information in [Stevenson et al. 1992: 43]: imperative t̪=àr, suppletive present kwɔ́t̪ǝ̄nàì, past t̪ʋ̄kù. Quoted as imperative t̪=ār, present kwɔ̀t̪énaì, past t̪ūkū in [Rilly 2009: 522].

Number: 16

Word: come

Ama: t̪=ɔ̀r ²

Stevenson 2000: 105; Stevenson 1957: 178. Suppletive definite stem. Initial t̪= is most likely of prefixal origin.

Cf. paradigmatic information in [Stevenson et al. 1992: 53]: indefinite lwè, indefinite plural gwɔ̀sàg, definite lūà, definite plural gwɛ̀šèi.

Stevenson 2000: 105. Transcribed as wı̀l in [Stevenson 1957: 172]. Quoted as wil in [MacDiarmid & MacDiarmid 1931: 159] (incorrectly listed as 'sun' because of an obvious print error); as wúl in [Rilly 2009: 433].
