kãvi - dam n
kãvičə - fishing net n

Kãvičə is formed as a diminutive of kãvi with the suffix -čə. The rather close relation of these words to fishing means that non-fishing related dams and nets have often gained newly derived lexemes in ythe daughter languages, leaving the forms derived from these two words as more specialised fishing terminology.

rastel /ʀasˈtɛl/ [ʀɐsˈtɛw] rake
< Latin rastellum “rake, hoe”, diminutive of rastrum “rake”.

rastel fair /feʀ/ [fɛː] to be thrifty, to save money
< “to rake”, via the sense “to waste nothing”, seen from 13C. In the sense “be spendthrift”, it was originally a positive judgement, but by 18C was exclusively used to insult, in the sense “be miserly”.

Rien va par un bricot nouç lour rovant, com i fay rastel !
There’s no point asking him for a wedding present, he’s so miserly!

Inaki

uvkə - plough n
tilkasə - plough v

Inland family

ofqa - plough n

Inaki uvkə is yet another example of an early Inland loan. The semantically corresponding verb tilkasə is formed with the generic verbalised -sə but its root tilka- is otherwise unattested. It's reasonable to interpret that this is the original native noun for "plough" that got replaced by a loan following the adoption of superior ploughing technology from the neighbouring Inland people.
