wam-->kha

  • meequn "feather, pen" => sner "feather", khulom "pen", khulom-sner "feather pen"
  • keesuk "sky, a day" => sngi "day, sun", bneng "sky"

kha-->wam

  • kjat "foot/leg" => -ukhôt "leg", -seet "foot"
  • ngi "we (1st person plural pronoun)" => neenawun "we (exclusive)", keenawun "we (inclusive)" This is reflective of a deeper grammatical ambiguity with regards to first person plural forms throughout the languages.
