Note

Also Bikol giník ‘to thresh rice with the feet’ (< *Riqek?), Tiruray erék ‘to thresh by trampling’, Yakan mag-diʔik ‘to tread on something, step on something, be run over by something; to thresh grain’. Zorc (1985) assigned Tagalog giʔík to "Proto-Hesperonesian-Formosan" *Gíek ‘to thresh’, citing Kanakanabu uma-iriki, Malay (h)irék ‘thresh’ as the only non-Philippine reflexes. However, Kanakanabu uma-iriki, like Puyuma (Tamalakaw) iRik ‘thresh with the feet’ is most simply derived from *iRik, and Malay (h)irek from *qiRik. Most languages appear to reflect *eRik, but given this reconstruction the Tagalog, Hanunóo, BISA, Manobo (Western Bukidnon), Lun Dayeh, Sangir and Totoli reflexes must be treated as though they are similar but unrelated forms. A careful consideration of other bases that have a postvocalic schwa, such as *kaen ‘eat’ suggests that contraction of the vowel sequence that resulted from loss of *q was likely to occur independently in many languages, and the disyllabic canonical preference of most AN languages would then have led to restoration of the lost disyllabism by schwa epenthesis, hence *Riqek > *Riek > *Rik > *eRik.
