à propos the old Latin/IE *kan-/*kun- problem: I found this in Orël &
Stol'bova:
1425 *kan- "dog"
East Chadic *kanya- "dog": Dangla kanya, Jegu kany-.
Omotic *kan- "dog": Ometo kana, kanaa, Nao kano.
A morphonological variant of *kun- id., *kūHen- id.
1498 *kun- "dog"
Berber *kun- "dog": Guanche cuna.
Omotic *kunan- "dog": Kaficho kunano, Mocha kunano.
Partial reduplication.
Related to *kan-, *kūHen- id.
1511 *kūHen- "dog"
West Chadic *kuHen- "dog": Fyer kweeN.
Fyer -N goes back to *-n-H-. Mogogodo kwehen "dog".
Omotic *keHen- "dog": Dime keenu.
Related to *kan-, *kun- id.
