Note

Also Papora θilma ‘flea’, Kanakanabu ʔatímua, Saaroa ʔatimula, Paiwan qatjimtjim ‘flea’, Bare'e antila ‘flea, esp. the kind that lives in the rice chaff’, Itawis assímal ‘flea’, Kelabit gesimel ‘bedbug’. This item probably contains a variant of the *qali-, *kali- prefix, and hence should be written *qati-mela. However, reflexes of a simple base *mela, or of this base with some other affix variant are unknown.
