If either of these has a Polynesian cognate, that old "Oceanic" hypothesis
may, um, hold water. (Who was it, Turney-High perhaps, who elaborated his
fringe theory about this? I seem to recall the book having been reprinted
by Ye Galleon Press.)
Howsoever, the forms in question are more like /t7anLki/ and /pulakli/.
For exact citation forms, please ask someone else, as I'm busy moving into
a new house today, fighting a cold, and preparing for a long business
trip. My point is, these two words don't share much in the way of
morphology. There's no recording of anything like /t7anLkli/ that I'm
aware of.
