1 1 \data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *[H]aj-
Meaning : mother
Notes : A universal stem, not indicative per se of Macro-Khoisan.
Proto-Khoisan : *haka
Meaning : four
Notes : A very interesting isogloss between Khoe and Sandawe, made a little suspicious by the fact that all other numeric parallels between these languages are either highly questionable ('one', 'two') or non-existent. On the other hand, there is no reason to attribute this to contacts between Khoe and Sandawe speakers, which are not documented; at best one could think of a common substrate - but such a substrate has not been found either (the numeral is unknown to any Niger-Congo or Nilo-Saharan speakers).
Proto-Khoisan : *Hala
Meaning : scorpion
Notes : A Hadza-Sandawe isogloss, possibly areal.
Proto-Khoisan : *hama [~]
Meaning : to sit
Notes : Found only in Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *!ao
Meaning : to cut
Notes : Bushman forms may actually represent borrowings from Khoe.
Proto-Khoisan : *!ao [~]
Meaning : long
Proto-Khoisan : *!aU
Meaning : to remain
Notes : Probably a borrowing into !Xóõ from a Khoe source.
Proto-Khoisan : *he- [~]
Meaning : to say
Notes : Found only in Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *!he [~]
Meaning : tongue
Notes : Not found outside Sandawe.
Proto-Khoisan : *Hi
Meaning : deictic stem
Notes : A universal deictic stem.
Proto-Khoisan : *hi-
Meaning : other
Notes : A Sandawe-Hadza isogloss.
Proto-Khoisan : *!i [~]
Meaning : bone
Notes : So far, only attested in Sandawe.
Proto-Khoisan : *[!]ka
Meaning : to want, wish
Notes : Irregular click loss in this root happens not only in Peripheral Khoisan, but also in Khoekhoe.
Proto-Khoisan : *![K]o
Meaning : full; heavy
Proto-Khoisan : *!Kui
Meaning : rope
Notes : The Peripheral Khoisan forms may reflect old borrowings from Khoe, but differences in click effluxes would have to be accounted for.
Proto-Khoisan : *!kxabe
Meaning : a k. of tree
Proto-Khoisan : *!ḳa- [~]
Meaning : root
Notes : Not found outside Peripheral Khoisan.
Proto-Khoisan : *![n]u-
Meaning : mouth
Notes : A very weak parallel (click influxes hardly match).
Proto-Khoisan : *ho
Meaning : to find, get
Proto-Khoisan : *!qai [~]
Meaning : cold
Notes : The connection is very dubious (Sandawe t- would rather yield a palatal click in Khoe), but given the general uncertainty about secondary click formation, should not be discarded right away.
