or the [w] might be merely epenthetic, i.e. an original
*a-u-har- (with Null prefix u-)
underwent regular loss of intervocalic /h/ to yield
*aú-ar- > oóar-

Original root *haQr-
gave tonic hér- and atonic -[w]ar-

analogous to 'say' *saQn-
which gave sén- and -san-

There’s one root with initial cr:
a-crú ‘come (neg.)’

whose aorist is
ddumóomo, ddíimi etc.

1 "-pi," 2 "bi-"
compare modern /bi, api/
pres. copula, nonhuman subj.

Some assumptions I'm working with:
- mid vowels are derived from high vowels (as noted, here both are adjacent to <h>)
- initial stops are voiced; voiceless ones barred from that pos'n
- zero initials reflect word boundaries
- at this stage vowel sequences were not tolerated (so <-i> = /ỵ/)

line 2 replace "ng" with [ŋ]

I've moved the /l/ of to the following word; -lt- is a common sequence in native #Burushaski lexemes

/napan/ or /napang/ looks like a converb (participle);

/ku-/ of /kuỵ/ recalls the 'thou' 2s prefix gu- (basic form ku-)

3rd attempt.
Mid vowels only adjacent to h (uvular). Common final ŋ (> -mu(-c)) maybe a noun ending; clitics begin w/ r
