Notes

The final *-k in this etymon is directly reflected by Jingpho, Lahu, and perhaps Baic. The Lisu form kwa⁵⁵ is paradoxically not definite evidence for the medial *-w- since Lisu regularly extrudes a labial glide between a velar initial and a vowel -a (cf. ‘bitter’ PTB *b-ka > Lisu khuɑ³¹).

We must resolutely reject any comparison with Japanese kawaku ‘be dry, thirsty’.
