\data\bush\khoiet
Proto-Khoisan : *cum[b]-
Meaning : navel
Proto-Bushman : *ɳǂ1ṵ- (?)
Proto-Khoe : *|um (?)
Sandawe : *c̣umbu (?)
Proto-Khoisan : *CV
Meaning : one
Sandawe : *c̣e-xe
Hadza : *ča-me
Notes : A Sandawe-Hadza isogloss (provided both forms are really segmentable).
Proto-Khoisan : *CVʔu [~]
Meaning : to eat
Proto-Khoe : *ǂʔṹ
Notes : So far met only in Khoe.
Proto-Khoisan : *CV[ʔV] [~]
Meaning : woman
Proto-Bushman : *ɡ|ʔɛ
Notes : Not found outside Peripheral Khoisan.
Proto-Khoisan : *cVkV
Meaning : sap
Proto-Bushman : *c_kxo[-ʔm]
Sandawe : *c̣iḳV
Notes : A possible example of reduction of syllabic structure, but without secondary click formation. Dubious.
Proto-Khoisan : *CVKV
Meaning : milk
Proto-Bushman : *ǂGhe (?)
Sandawe : *ʒiḳe
Notes : Cf. also Hadza ḳaca "breast" (or with Sandawe saka "chest"?). Monosyllabification in Peripheral Khoisan would rather yield a dental click, so the comparison is quite weak.
Proto-Khoisan : *CVKV (?)
Meaning : to leak
Proto-Bushman : 1h[-N]
Proto-Khoe : *|xaba
Sandawe : *c̣a(ŋ)ḳe
Proto-Khoisan : *CV(ŋ)
Meaning : to fart
Proto-Bushman : *ʒhŋ̥
Proto-Khoe : *chi
Hadza : *c̣uʔa
Proto-Khoisan : *CVqV [~]
Meaning : ear
Proto-Bushman : *|q_hoi
Notes : Only found in North Khoisan and =Hoan.
Proto-Khoisan : *CV[WV]
Meaning : small
Proto-Bushman : *|ʷa
Proto-Khoe : *|a
Notes : Cf. also Sandawe c̣ō (if not to *cʔV- id.)?
Proto-Khoisan : *CWV
Meaning : child, son
Proto-Bushman : *|1ʷa̰
Proto-Khoe : *|ṍã́
Notes : It is interesting to note the labial vowel in Khoe vs. labialization in Bushman (reflected in the Taa labial click).
Proto-Khoisan : *cxaN-
Meaning : tired
Proto-Bushman : *ʒ_gχam
Proto-Khoe : *cxã̂
Proto-Khoisan : *Cxo-
Meaning : to milk, squeeze out
Proto-Bushman : *ʒ_xoʔ-
Proto-Khoe : *cxô(m)
Notes : North Khoisan *cxom is suspicious as a possible borrowing from Khoe, but the !Xóõ parallel to Khoe is most likely of genetic origin.
Proto-Khoisan : *CxUn-
Meaning : to slip, slide
Proto-Bushman : *ʒxoʔn-
Proto-Khoe : *cxúnì
Proto-Khoisan : *ča [~]
Meaning : belly
Hadza : *ča
Notes : An isolated Hadza form.
Proto-Khoisan : *čo
Meaning : medicine
Proto-Bushman : *čo
Proto-Khoe : *cô
Notes : See Honken 1998: 183. The root is sometimes quoted as an obvious cultural Wanderwort in various publications, but there are no definitive arguments to exclude its presence on the Proto-Khoisan status, either (a simple root like *čo or *co could not have been subject to too many phonetic changes, anyway).
Proto-Khoisan : *c̣a [~]
Meaning : water
Sandawe : *c̣a
Notes : Not found outside Sandawe. Supposed connections with Khoe *chǎ 'water' are probably misleading, since the latter is more likely to reflect an old lateral affricate.
Proto-Khoisan : *c̣aha- [~]
Meaning : to know
Hadza : *c̣a(ha)
Proto-Khoisan : *c̣awa [~]
Meaning : sand
Hadza : *c̣awa
Notes : Found only in Hadza.
Proto-Khoisan : *c̣e- (?)
Meaning : limp
Proto-Khoe : *cʔî
Hadza : *ƛ̣eḳe
Notes : A very weak connection.
