Proto-Altaic: *č`ak`e

Comments: Дыбо 311, Лексика 250. A reconstruction *č`ajk`e is not excluded because of the Korean form; this is perhaps the reason for *-x- in TM (where in this context one would rather expect *čakan). altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-reference,

Number: 1924
Proto-Semitic: *s/ṣuḳl-
Meaning: leg, thigh; elbow
Arabic: suḳl- 'flancs, hypocondres' [BK 1 1109], ṣuḳl-, ṣuḳlat-, ṣaḳlat- do. [idid. 1354]. Note a meaning shift. Cf. also šāḳūl- 'verge, pénis' [ibid. 1255], with š- instead of the expected s- (<*ŝ- <*s influenced by -l?) if related; the meaning shift 'thigh' > 'penis' is a current one
Tigre: č̣ǝnḳǝlit 'coude' [LH 627, apud d'Abbadie]. Note a secondary nasalization
East Ethiopic: ZWY č̣iḳile 'elbow' [LGur 1 1205; 2 215]. Note a misprint čiḳile in [LGur 186]
Soqotri: suḳal 'pied' [LS 290] (cf. also [SSL LS 1470])
Notes: Probably related with suffixed *-l to *šāḳ- {} *sāḳ- 'thigh, leg', No. . Scarce attestation in Southern SEM area only; the ETH data questionable phonetically. The SOQ example, however, is well compatible with the ARB one, as it cannot be Arabism for semantic reasons.
Cf. ARB forms with ṣ- assimilated to -ḳ and a similar proces in TGR and ZWY (č̣ < *ṣ < *s-).
