Reconstruction:Proto-Algonquian/aʔta·pya

Etymology
A compound of +.

Bows probably postdate the breakup of Proto-Algonquian proper; this compound seems to have been formed at a later date: reflexes are found in both Central and Eastern, but they show variations that prevent a PA term from being reconstructed cleanly.

Noun
