  • West-Moroccan/Kabyle

  • Southern:
    • Zng. oʔbih 'smoke'

Notes:

There appears to be a verb, perhaps to be reconstructed as *əʔəβuββ(u)'to be smoked', cf. Mzab wuwwu, Tashlhiyt guggu, CMB gugg, Kb. bubb, Ghd βuβu. The different forms (such as the disappearance of final u in CMB and Kb.) is not easy to reconcile into a single reconstruction.
