Voort #145 (*nu(ku)tǝ(rɛ)). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The Arikapú word has been influenced by nduku {duku} 'mouth and lips', acquiring a classifier suffix for worm-like objects. External data correspond perfectly well to the Djeoromitxí form, cf. Proto-Jê *ɲũytʌ.
Voort #85 (*tʃo). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: The comparison is valid if -kɾĩ(h)ɐ̃ {-krĩ(h)ã} is a suffix in Arikapú.
Number:90
Word:tree
Arikapu:ku {ku}1
Ribeiro 2008: 97; Arikapú et al. 2010: 21. Polysemy: 'tree / wood / big knife / machete / long sword'.

Ribeiro 2008b: 51.
Proto-Jabuti:*ngɾɛnbo ~ *ngɾenbo #
Distribution: Preserved only in Djeoromitxí; the word is tentatively compared to Krenák ngɾimbo 'id'.
Number:92
Word:go
Arikapu:pɾi {pri}1
Ribeiro 2008: 135. Distinct from hɛɾɐ̃=mũ {herãmũ} [Ribeiro 2008: 69] (centrifugal). In [Arikapú et al. 2010: 35] it is translated as 'to swim / to follow / to catch / to receive'. Cf. hǝ̃ {hä̃} 'to go, to want to go' [Arikapú et al. 2010: 15], kǝɾǝy {käräy} 'to walk' [Ribeiro 2008: 86].
Djeoromitxi:mɛnĩ {menĩ}2
Ribeiro 2008b: 87. Distinct from kɔ̃ {kõ} 'to go away' [Ribeiro 2008b: 79], dudu {dudu} 'to walk' [Ribeiro 2008b: 50].
Proto-Jabuti:
Not reconstructible. *pɾi ~ *pɾe, *ɾi (~ *ɾɘy ~ *ɾoy ~ *ɾuy) and *mɛ̃nĩ (~ *mɐ̃y-, ~ *-ɾ-, ~ *-ɨ̃ ~ *-ũy ~ *-ɨ̃y) are equiprobable candidates. Cf. *kɐ̃ 'to go away / to end / to stop' (Voort #163). We were unable to identify the Djeoromitxí form used to reconstruct *kǝrɛj 'to walk' (Voort #11).

Ribeiro 2008b: 59.
Proto-Jabuti:*čǝ
Voort #218 (*tʃǝ...). Distribution: Preserved in this meaning only in Arikapú, narrowing its meaning to 'to cook' in Djeoromitxí. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: Polysemy: 'warm / to burn' is reconstructed. Apparently, the word for 'fire' is also derived from this root.
Ribeiro 2008b: 49. The morphological segmentation is unclear. Distinct from ʔi {i} 'liquid' [Ribeiro 2008b: 70].
Proto-Jabuti:*nbi
Voort #5 (*miru). Distribution: Preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular. Semantics and structure: The comparison is valid if -ɾu {-ru} is a suffix in Djeoromitxí. A distinct root *ʔɨ 'liquid / classifier for liquids' can also be reconstructed (Voort #6 *ɨ).

Arikapu:pako-ɛ {pakue}1
Ribeiro 2008: 126; Arikapú et al. 2010: 32. Derived from pako {paku} 'younger sister' [Ribeiro 2008: 125; Arikapú et al. 2010: 32].
Djeoromitxi:pako {pako}1
Ribeiro 2008b: 103.
Proto-Jabuti:*pako
Voort #179 (*paku). Distribution: The root is preserved in all daughter languages. The suffixless root shifted it meaning to 'younger sister' in Arikapú. Reconstruction shape: Correspondences are completely regular.
Number:100
Word:yellow
Arikapu:ndũnbu-ɔ {dũbuo}1
Ribeiro 2008: 53. Derived from ndũnbu {dũbu} 'pale, yellow'. Arikapú et al. [2010: 12] attest ndunbu {dubu} 'yellow' and ndunbu-ɔ {dubuo} 'blue, green'.
Djeoromitxi:
Not attested. Voort [159] cites b͡zidu {bzidu}; it is uncertain to what extent the material cited there is credible.
Proto-Jabuti:
Not reconstructible. *ndunbu is a likely candidate.

Djeoromitxi:kötǝ {kütä}2
Ribeiro 2008b: 85.
Proto-Jabuti:
Not reconstructible. *kɔkɾǝ (~ *-ǝy ~ *-ɔy), *nbɛpɔ (~ *nbe-) are equiprobable candidates. Replacements: The Arikapú word is cognate to Djeoromitxí tǝɾi 'long'; most probably, Proto-Jabutí *tǝɾɘy actually meant 'long'.

Ribeiro 2008b: 81.
Proto-Jabuti:*komɨ̃ ~ *kumɨ̃
Voort #200 (*kumɨ̃). Distribution: The root is preserved in all daughter languages. Reconstruction shape: The vowel correspondence in the first syllable is slightly irregular. The denasalization in Djeoromitxí is unexpected.
