Note

Also Itbayaten xakay ‘male, man, mister’, Romblomanon lyāki ‘a boy or man; a male animal, fish, mollusk’, pagka-lyāki ‘someone’s manliness’, Uma Juman Kayan akiʔ, Mukah Melanau lay ‘male’, Pendau Lauje laŋkai ‘man, male’, Bare'e laŋkai ‘male, of animals, masculine; husband’. This form is known only in languages that have been classified as WMP or CMP. Its meaning appears to be identical to that of PAn *RuqaNay, and the two clearly co-existed in PMP and later proto-languages, although to date no language has been found with reflexes of both. In addition to the basic meaning ‘male’ the simple form of this base (*laki) or the collocation *anak laki replaced PMP *ñaRa ‘brother’ (woman speaking) in a number of Malayo-Polynesian languages, evidently through transfer from the meaning ‘wife giver’ (‘male group’; cf. Blust 1993).
