Talk:kapur

Wyang, thank you for elaborating the etymology. What is your source for it? We should probably move the descendants to Proto-Austronesian *qapuR (“lime, calcium”), if it is sourced. --Vahag (talk) 13:29, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

I used the following sources:

1. Archaeology and Language IV: Language Change and Cultural Transformation
2. Dragon's Brain Perfume: An Historical Geography of Camphor
3. *qapuR ~ *kapuR in Blust's Austronesian Comparative Dictionary
4. Mon-Khmer Etymological Dictionary

and other single-language dictionaries. Please move them to the Proto-Austronesian page if you could - it seems from *qabu that this will be a highly branched tree! Wyang (talk) 23:54, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I wanted to do the move myself, but now I am not confident in my abilities. Let someone else do it. --Vahag (talk) 14:48, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
