Note

Also Alune putile ‘white’. Tagalog putíʔ ‘to become white; to whiten; to become bleached’ shows the use of the infix *-um- as an inchoative marker, but no other examples of this usage could be found with this stem in the data examined. However, the use of a reflex of *-um- to mark inchoatives in color terms is found with other bases in languages such as Melanau (Mukah) of central Sarawak, where gaduŋ is ‘green’ and gaduŋ means ‘become green’. The absence of morphologically complex cognates of Tagalog putíʔ is thus most likely an accident of sampling.
