Note

Also Seediq (Truku) haŋan ‘name’, Thao lhanaz (< *ŋaRaj, with metathesis?), Puyuma ŋaɭad (< *ŋalaj?), Ida'an Begak naran, Kenyah (Long Selaaʻn) karan, Narum ñadin,Bintulu ñaran, Simalur kaxan, Mentawai gagan, Bare'e gara, Sika naraŋ, Rotinese nade(k) ‘name, to name, be named’, Atoni kana-k, Kemak galan ‘name’, Kei naram ‘fame, reputation, name’, Cheke Holo nahŋa ‘name’. Seediq (Truku) haŋan may reflect *ŋajan with metathesis, but this is unclear, since *-j- usually became s and occasionally disappeared, possibly through intermediate h (cf. Li 1981). I assume that the initial alveolar nasal in reflexes such as Rukai naganə, Ilokano nágan, Itawis náhan, and possibly Chamorro naʔan is a product of dissimilation between the onset of successive syllables at a time when *j [gʸ] still had a velar place feature.
