Proto-Ryukyuan
Etymology
According to Thorpe (1983, 282), the first element is related to Old Japanese 子 (ko₁, “child; something born in an animal, egg (oviparous birds, fish, etc.; unhatched or hatched)”), while *-ga is a diminutive suffix.
However, 子 (ko₁)'s accent belongs to the high register (class 1), but the tone class of this word is class C, which would only correspond to the low register (class 3/4/5).
