\data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *sVmV
Meaning : three
Sandawe : *somV
Hadza : *samaka
Notes : A Sandawe-Hadza isogloss (areal).
Proto-Khoisan : *šã
Meaning : to rest
Proto-Bushman : *šã
Proto-Khoe : *sã́
Notes : Borrowing is possible, but would have rather to be from North Khoisan into Khoe than vice versa because of PNK *š-.
Proto-Khoisan : *šu(a)-
Meaning : bump, swelling
Proto-Bushman : *šṵ-
Sandawe : *swāku
Proto-Khoisan : *[tʔ]abV
Meaning : to carry, lift; (> to bear child)
Proto-Bushman : *tʔaʔabi
Proto-Khoe : *ábà
Sandawe : *haba
Notes : Sandawe semantics is acceptable; cf. the presence of both the meanings 'carry' and 'bear (child)' in Khoe.
Proto-Khoisan : *Taʔ[BV]
Meaning : young, kid
Proto-Bushman : *t_a̰hʔ-
Sandawe : *da̰ʔmē
Notes : Cf. also Nama tom 'young'.
Proto-Khoisan : *Taʔm
Meaning : tortoise
Proto-Bushman : *d́aʔm
Proto-Khoe : *dam (*dl-?)
Sandawe : *theŋgē (?)
Notes : In Peripheral Khoisan, the =Hoan form can be a borrowing from Khoe, but the North Khoisan stem with an initial affricate is rather original.
Proto-Khoisan : *taka [~]
Meaning : long
Hadza : *taka[-sV]
Proto-Khoisan : *te
Meaning : to stand
Proto-Khoe : *té
Sandawe : *ʒi, *ʒikhina
Notes : The parallel reflects regular palatalization of dentals in Sandawe before front vowels (cf. the situation with the first person pronoun).
Proto-Khoisan : *t́E [?]
Meaning : tree
Sandawe : *thē
Hadza : *c̣iti
Notes : The similarity between Sandawe and Hadza forms is notable, but does not reflect any apparent regularity.
Proto-Khoisan : *teki [~]
Meaning : red
Hadza : *te(ki)se
Notes : Not found outside Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *TERE
Meaning : clot of blood
Proto-Bushman : *terV
Proto-Khoe : *téné
Notes : The Naro form cannot be explained as a borrowing from Peripheral Khoisan for phonetic reasons. Additional parallels within Khoe would be needed to make the etymology more reliable, though.
Proto-Khoisan : *t́ǝ (*cǝ) (?)
Meaning : belly
Proto-Bushman : *|1oh ~ *ɡ|1oh
Sandawe : *|wedese (?)
Hadza : *c̣oho (?)
Notes : All the comparisons are extremely dubious.
Proto-Khoisan : *thʔurV
Meaning : to slough the skin
Proto-Bushman : *thʔurV
Proto-Khoe : *thuru
Notes : North Khoisan *thuru may be a borrowing from Khoe, but !Xóõ húli kV is original.
Proto-Khoisan : *t(h)a-
Meaning : woman
Proto-Bushman : *de (?)
Proto-Khoe : *ta[ra]
Sandawe : *thame-
Notes : Not too impressive, considering that the similarity is mainly just between the initial consonants.
Proto-Khoisan : *tha [~]
Meaning : to run, fly
Sandawe : *tha
Notes : Attested only in Sandawe.
Proto-Khoisan : *tham
Meaning : tsamma melon
Proto-Bushman : *tah[-m]
Proto-Khoe : *thama
Notes : Possibly just a cultural Wanderwort; interesting to note that final -m is detachable in !Xóõ.
Proto-Khoisan : *thasV [~]
Meaning : liver
Sandawe : *thasno
Proto-Khoisan : *thawa [~]
Meaning : feather
Sandawe : *thawā
Notes : Attested only in Sandawe so far.

Meaning : wound, sore
Proto-Bushman : *thu-
Proto-Khoe : *thùí
Proto-Khoisan : *t(h)U
Meaning : night
