tsɨhʷɨɗ ʸ n. porcupine porc-épic (4 groups, 16 languages) C cf: dzɨmɨkʷ ʸ.
This root is an innovation in the Margi-Mandara-Mofu major group, and has spread into the Hurza group. There has been much sporadic simplification, with two groups losing the palatalisation prosody, and widespread loss of the labialisation component of *hʷ. The *ɗ has been lost in all languages, except for some members of the Mofu group. This loss of material has been compensated for by the addition of a m- prefix in the Hurza and Margi groups, a v- prefix in Glavda, and reduplication in Mandara and Malgwa. There is also sporadic prenasalisation of the *ts in many languages, particularly in the Mofu group, where this has led to the voicing of *ts to /dz/.
