Notes: An Aand.-WC isogloss. Correspondences are regular.

Avar-Andian etymology :

Protoform: *baḳʷoli

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 stomach 2 belly 3 spleen

Avar: baḳʷáli 1

Andian language: baḳʷolu-las:i 3

Akhvakh: baḳʷali 1

Karata: baḳʷal 2

Bagvalal: baḳʷal 2

Godoberi: baḳʷali 1

Comments: Av. paradigm B/C (baḳʷáli-dul, baḳʷála-bi). The God. and Akhv. words may be loaned from Av., but it is less probable for Kar. and Bagv. In And. the pure root is not recorded, but is witnessed in the derivate baḳʷolu-las:i 'spleen'.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: belly

Abkhaz: á-mgʷa

Abaza: mgʷa

Ubykh: nǝḳʷǝ́

Comments: PAT *mǝgʷa; Ub. def. a-nǝ́ḳʷ. A complicated case of correspondences between AA and Ub.: we must assume a secondary deglottalisation in PAT (for reasons which are not yet clear) and a dissimilative change *m- > n- before a labiovelar in Ub. (we should note that roots of the type mVKʷV are indeed very rare in Ub.). Comparison of Ub. nǝḳʷǝ́ with PAK *ḳʷác̣ǝ 'intestines' (Шагиров 1, 217) is not persuasive.
