Poswa: blup
Pabappa: plup
Both of these are descended from Bābākiam miep (/mjəp/). The Bābākiam word represents a thick, sturdy boot intended for mountain climbing, whereas the descendants are mostly focused around keeping snow out in the wintertime by being tall and well-insulated.

Kuroras: tiŋì
Thaoa: suŋik
both from Ukideidua words meaning "shield (for) feet" (they had a separate word for sandals and other lighter forms of footwear)

next word:

to face towards something/someone
