North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *χHakV
Meaning: bat
Notes: At least the Lak-Darg. parallel seems reliable (the And. form is known only from Khaidakov's dictionary, which is a rather unreliable source), but the original meaning is not quite clear: the meaning in Lak. ('raw hide; membrane') may be primary, or else it may be derived from 'bat' ('bat-like skin'). The word for 'bat' is not recorded in most EC languages, and we must wait for further data.
