Note

Also Tagalog múmog ‘gargle, a rinsing of the mouth’, Javanese kemu, Manggarai memur, Leti pupru (< earlier *pupur), Yamdena ŋuŋur ‘rinse the mouth’, PPn *pu(u)pu(u) ‘gargle, rinse the mouth’. Zorc (n.d.) gives PPh *-muRmuR ‘gargle; swish in mouth’. This item may have contained the *qalikali- prefix. However, since the form of the prefix agrees only in languages that are closely related, and since the independent root is attested in several widely separated witnesses, the bare stem is posited here.
