Alternative reconstructions

  • *ʌ̀ɢé (per Werner 2002)
  • *ʔǝqe (per Starostin 1994-2005)[1]
  • *ɤ̄ˑqʌ (per Vajda-Werner 2022)
  • *ojqe (per Fortescue-Vajda 2022)
  • *ojɢe (per Vajda 2024)

Reconstruction notes

The actual root might be *oj instead, if Pumpokol jaxi (“branch”) (VW.), attested as kédiŋ-jaxi (“small twigs”, literally “root-twig”), is a plural noun, which could be analyzed as *ja-xi. Notwithstanding the Pumpokol data, attested plural forms suggest that the reflexes of *-ɢ have merged with *-ɢa (nominalizer suffix), coupled with *-n (animate-noun plural suffix).
