OVS suggests a vowel between t_k. The diacritics seem to indicate epenthesis of a very short or neutral V in OVS, but it could also be etymological. The DH consonants are regular, but the final vowel should be e rather than a. Thus, it is not certain that these forms are cognate. The Ofo form suggests that the *t in these forms may have originated as a resonant *r which became *t as the first member of a voiceless cluster. RR: tk would normally become *hk > kh in Ofo, so na- is most likely a prefix here.
