Reconstruction notes
The reconstruction as *KAMI₁ and not **KAMI₂ is because Ainu would have loaned this word as *kambUy, not kambi. Note that Old Japanese "voiced stops" are recognized as pre-nasalized voiced stops, and this is supported by Ainu loans from Old Japanese.

It received its title from its similarity in shape to one of the vestments of a cardinal. Also mulled red wine." He didn't usually do citations, unfortunately, so it's only a reference.
