Although this root is only attested in 11 languages, these are from a wide area and diverse groups, and so this root is likely to have come from Proto-Central Chadic. In Proto-Daba there is an unestablished change *ɣʷ→hʷ. The labializtion component was lost in all languages, except for Daba where it was reanalysed as the labialization prosody. The same unestablished change took place in Podoko in the Mandara group. In the Mofu group there was a regular change *ɣʷ→hʷ in the Tokombere subgroup, and in Muyang the *h was lost in a sporadic change, leaving behind the labialization component. In the Mofu subgroup there was a regular change *ɣʷ→w. In Mofu-Gudur the *w was lost as a sporadic change. In Bata the labialisation has transferred to the *ɓ. In Bana there has been metathesis of the two consonants.1Proto-Bata*ɓʷaɣhidecacher1.1BataBoydɓòòhe hid his money; I hid from him; hide me, hide you; hide food from me, from you1.2JimiDjibiɓʷəɣənSe cacher ;1.3SharwaGravinaɓʷah(se) cacher2Proto-Daba*ɓahʷhidecacher2.1BuwalViljoenɓɑhhide (tr)cacher1BuwalViljoenɓɑhstoregarder2BuwalViljoenɓɑhshelterabriter2.2GavarViljoenɓɑhstore (up)garder, emmagasiner1GavarViljoenɓɑhhidecacher2.3MbudumNdokobaïkəɓahhide (tr)cacher2.4DabaLienhardɓōhcacher, se cacher3Proto-Mandara*ɓɨhʷahidecacher3.1PodokoSwackhammerɓəhʷácacher4Proto-Mofu*ɓa ʷhidecacher4.1MuyangSmithɓuhide ; avoidse cacher4.2Mofu-GudurHollingsworthɓ ́(se) cacher5Proto-Higi*ɣʷɨɓɨhidecacher5.1BanaLienhardɣùɓə́se cacher (pour attrapper qqch.k)
