Thanks to all for your help!
I actually was misled by the different orthographies of _anunkasan_
(after looking at White-Hat's spelling - k-dot - I realize that there
are no adjacent consonants *k-x).

That's it - of course!! How could I forget about this, having seen quite
a couple of them :)


I really would have liked the idea of _nupa_ being involved some way in
_anunka_ (anunk/anung), but it seems that the _-ka_ part doesn't make
sense as a separate word :((
