Borean etymology: Borean etymology

Proto-Austroasiatic: *le:ŋ

Austroasiatic meaning: sky

Miao-Yao parallels: Yao luŋ.3 heavens, sky; bjuŋ.6 rain

Long-range etymologies :

Borean (approx.) : LVNV

Meaning : to wash, pour

Sino-Caucasian : *=V́ƛ̣Vŋ

Austric : PAA *la:ŋ 'wash', *lVŋ 'pour', PAN *iliŋ 'pour' (cf. also *lVŋ 'sky, rain' ?)

Sino-Caucasian etymology :

Proto-Sino-Caucasian: *=V́ƛ̣Vŋ

Meaning: to wash

Borean etymology: Borean etymology

North Caucasian: *=Vƛ̣_Vn

Sino-Tibetan: *ƛēŋ ( ~ -ā-)

Burushaski: *-hált-

Comments and references : DCE 33.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=Vƛ̣_Vn

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to wash, pour; to weep

Proto-Nakh: *=ēlχ-

Proto-Tsezian: *čɔƛ-

Proto-Lezghian: *ʡä[ƛ̣:]Vn- /č-:ä[ƛ̣:]Vn-

Notes: Basically a Nakh-Lezg. isogloss (the Tsez. form is somewhat dubious).

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *=ēlχ-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 to weep 2 to pour (of rain)

Chechen: =ēlχ- 1,2

Ingush: =elχ- 1

Batsbi: =etχ- 1,2

Comments: Cf. also dur. *=alχ-, reflected in Bacb. =atχ- (regular durative, meaning both 'to rain' and 'to weep'), Chech. =alχ-ō 'to complain'.

Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *čɔƛ-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to rinse

Tsezi: čokƛ-

Khvarshi: čokƛ- (Radzhibov)

Comments: PTsKh *čokƛ-; it is interesting to note the coincidence between Tsez. č- and Lezgian forms in *č:-, but the combination -kƛ- is not quite clear (*čɔkƛ- < *čɔƛ-k-, with a secondary reanalysis of *-ƛ- as a verbal suffix?). Cf. perhaps also PGB *č̣aƛ- 'to pour out, scatter' (Bezht. Tlad., Khosh. č̣äƛ-, Gunz. č̣aƛ-) ?

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʡä[ƛ̣:]Vn- /č:-ä[ƛ̣:]Vn-

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 to wash 2 to make an ablution

Tabasaran: ži=ḳ- 1

Agul: žuḳül ʁušas 2

Archi: e=ƛ̣:in- 2

Comment: Cf. also Tab. Kand. ǯi=ḳ-, Düb. ǯa=ḳ- 'to wash', Ag. Bursh. ǯiḳan- 'to make an ablution'. In Tab. and Ag. the verb has an expressive preverb *č:-, which had probably caused a dissimilation *-ƛ̣:- > -ƛ̣- (Tab., Ag. -ḳ-). It is interesting to note some similarity in behaviour with the root *ʔeƛ̣:ɨ 'to sweep' (see under *=VŁ_wV); the two roots are of course different, but they could have influenced each other.

Sino-Tibetan etymology :

Proto-Sino-Tibetan: *ƛēŋ ( ~ -ā-)

Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology

Meaning: wash, clean

Burmese: kjaŋh to wash slightly, rinse (a vessel).

Lushai: tlēŋ (tlen) to clean by pouring water over.

Lepcha: lŭŋ to spill, to pour as water, rice
