sɨraj nf. leg jambe (12 groups, 26 languages) B syn: ʃi, sɨk ʸ.
This root is the most widespread of the roots for 'leg'. In Proto-Tera, *z is expected from a regular *s→z change, but *s is present. There is a regular change *r→l in the North sub-branch, the Daba group and in Cuvok. However, in the Mandara, Maroua and Higi groups we have /r/, and in Mafa we have /l/. In the Bata group *r has the unestablished reflex /ɗ/. *j has been reanalysed as *i in Proto-Margi and Proto-Kotoko North, a common sporadic process.

sɨwra₁ num. two deux (7 groups, 12 languages) A syn: ɓɨwak, tsɨjɨw, kasi.
This root is not well-attested in Central Chadic, but evidence from other branches indicates that this was probably the Proto-Chadic root. *w has been reanalysed as a vowel or the labialisation prosody, or has been lost. These are common sporadic processes. There was a regular change *r→l in the North sub-branch, though *r is present in Proto-Mandara, and /d/ is present in Bura.
