Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Katuic *kaheep, from Proto-Mon-Khmer. Cognate with Semai ke'èèp, Bahnar kơep, Halang gơjip, Khmer ក្អែប (kʼaep), Khmu [Cuang] kʔiːp, Central Nicobarese [Nancowry] kaēap, Lamet [Lambang] səʔíp, Thavung kasḭ̂ːp, Arem katʰɪːp.

Katuic has *-h- for this word; Khmer, Aslian and Nicobarese have zero consonant; Vietic and (possibly) Palaungic have *-s-; Khmuic is inconclusive for either *-h- or zero-consonant (since *-h- was already lost at Proto-Khmuic stage, it is not possible to tell); Bahnaric reflexes are split between those that show zero consonant (such as Bahnar) and those that show *-ɟ- (such as Halang).
