ǂHoan : *ǀʔõ

Bushman > ǂHoan : Bushman > ǂHoan

Notes : Nasalisation in PT is probably secondary (there is no trace of a nsal efflux whatsoever in any of the !Wi forms). If the vowel was originally nasal, this may have been the result of a transposition of nasal articulation onto the efflux before a consonantal class suffix (i. e. *ʘʔɔ̃-je > *ʔʘnɔ-je).

Bushman > Taa : Bushman > Taa

Notes : The comparison is only acceptable if we assume the rare correspondence "PNK *c- - PT *ǀǀq(h)" to be pointing to an original "affricate+uvular" cluster. Cf. a very good example in PPK *cqa̰(ʔ)n "to miss" q.v.; unfortunately, the only one.
