This word has the basic meaning of 'to fly', but can also mean 'to jump' in some languages. There was a regular change *v→f in Proto-Kotoko North, and the same change has taken place in Gude, where it was irregular, and in Proto-Margi, where the change is found elsewhere but is unestablished. There was a regular change *r→l in the North sub-branch, though in this case we find /r/ in Zina.
