vida nf. hare lièvre (6 groups, 16 languages) C syn: hʷaⁿdav.
This is one of two possibly related roots for 'hare', the other being *hʷaⁿdav. There was a regular intervocalic change *d→r in the North sub-branch, and there were subsequent regular changes *r→l in various languages. However, these changes do not account for all the surface forms. In particular, the Margi form appears cognate but does not conform with established rules. There is no known rule that would predict the presence of *p as the initial consonant. There is good evidence for *i from all groups, though in Sukur /i/ would be expected rather than the palatalisation prosody.
