 Ƙarin ƙwayoyin 
Sasse tentatively reconstructs  as Proto-East Cushitic based on Dullay and Yaaku, but finds correspondences elsewhere to be unclear. Ehret identifies these further with ,  occurring in South Cushitic and Agaw, and finds in Beja reflexes as the stops , . For corresponding voiced ,  in Agaw, which occur only word-medially, he proposes correspondences as Beja , ; most East Cushitic , but implosive  in Yaaku and Dullay; the voiceless fricatives ,  in South Cushitic. A remaining word-initial correspondence of ,  in Beja and Agaw but again ,  in South Cushitic is then assigned to represent Proto-Cushitic ,  word-initially.
