canean
Pacoh
Etymology
From Proto-Katuic *krnian, *prnian, originally an infixed derivative the noun "child"; this base does not seem to leave any reflex within Katuic and also had an unusual vowel reflex. This unattested base and the form in Pearic (cf. Sa'och kʰeːn ("child")) possibly form an isogloss.
Formationally identical to Semai kenon (“child”), Juang kɔnɔn ("child, son, the young one; young"), Khmu [Cuang] krnɔːn ("uterus"), Chut [Rục] kunɔːn¹, Vietnamese non (“young, juvenille”).
