'Pig' in Bantu

This brief report provides an overview of geographic distribution of words denoting ‘pig’ in Bantu languages. While reflexes of the Proto-Bantu reconstructed form *-gʊ̀dʊ̀bè are widely spread in Eastern Bantu zones, forms traced back to the (shortened) PB form *-gʊ̀dʊ́ are dominantly distributed in Western Bantu zones. This article also provides information on several forms that are only locally observed especially in North Eastern languages.
