Avar-Andian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ket:ʷ ( ~ -i-)

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Correspondences are regular. Abdokov (1983, 128) compares the EC forms with PAK *k:ʷánǝ 'basket' (citing also Abkh. a-kʷnǝ 'big basket' - which we were unable to identify), which is very dubious for phonetic reasons.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ket:ʷ ( ~ -i-)

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: 1 basket for hay 2 big wooden chest for grain

Lezghian: kud (Khl.) 1

Rutul: kid 1

Budukh: kud 1,2

Comment: In Lezg. (Khl.) there exists also a derivate kʷt-kun with the same meaning, but with a not quite clear second component; in lit. Lezg. only kutkun is attested. The Rut. form kid clearly points to labialisation not on the first, but on the second consonant in PL (which caused labialisation of the vowel in Lezg. and Bud.).
