Note: #OldNubian /p/ regularly becomes /b/ in #Andaandi and #Matokki

#Andaandi / #Matokki ŏr; ŏrū, ŏ́rw-ī (plural): 'king, chief'

ŏr-bāb, ur-bāb: 'king and father'

#Andaandi / #Matokki ur-an
#Nobiin ur-aŋ: 'become king'

In Nobiin, 'becoming' is expressed thru verb -áŋir / -áŋil: 'to become', which attaches directly to noun
