(Dempwolff: *piTut ‘to narrow, contract’ )

narrow

WMP
Toba Batak ma-pitutto be narrow
Javanese piṭutalmond-eyed

Since this form has been found nowhere else I treat it as a product of chance convergence pending the discovery of more support. Dempwolff (1938) proposed Uraustronesisch *piTut ‘to narrow, contract’ (verengen).

(Dempwolff: *ibay)

neck, throat

OC

CMP

Bwaidoga/Bwaidoka odo-nahis throat

Chance. Although LAKA bolo- and Kwaio ono could reflect POc *ciono-, the Kwaio form appears to reflect *tonom 'to swallow' (cf. onom-anal 'throat, necḱ, onom-ia 'swallow').

(Dempwolff: *baya(q) ‘neglect’)

neglect:   ignore, neglect

WMP
PPh bayqaignore, neglect
Ilokano bayʔápermit, allow, let; leave alone, neglect
Isneg bayʔáleave off, desist from, cease, forbear
Tagalog báyaʔallow or tolerate (a situation); leave someone alone
Bikol báyaʔstop doing something, abandon, disregard, dispense with, forego, leave off, relinquish, renounce; concede (as defeat)
Hanunóo báyʔaʔabandonment, neglect, act of forsaking (someone)
Aklanon bayáʔto ignore
Cebuano báyaʔleave something exposed
Cebuano pa-báyaʔpay something no mind
Malagasy vazadisdain, contempt

Dempwolff compared the Tagalog form with Malagasy vaza ‘disdain, contempt’ and proposed *baya(q) ‘neglect’, but this is best considered a chance resemblance, and the form reconstructed only for Proto-Philippines.

next:   beside, next to

WMP

Bare'e impigive way to, yield so as to make room (for someone coming)

nimble:   quick nimble

WMP
Ngaju Dayak capatquick, nimble
Malay cəpatspeed; rapid movement; fast; nimble

On the basis of this compariosn Dempwolff (1938) proposed ‘Uraustronesisch’ cepat ‘quick, nimble’.

WMP
Malay laliinsensitive to pain or emotion, of soldiers reckless of danger
Old Javanese lalito forget, fail to notice
Javanese lalito forget
Javanese lali-lalito keep forgetting; to try to forget

Probably a chance resemblance. Dempwolff (1938) positied Uraustronesisch *lali ‘unnoticed, not perceived’ (Unbemerktsein).
