North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *f_ɦä̆
Meaning: five
Notes: The WC form has a prefix of unknown origin; despite this, and the lack of the expected palatalisation (*-x́ʷǝ would be rather expected), there can be no doubt in the common origin of the EC and WC forms. The rules of palatalisation are violated in WC numerals (cf. also EC *ƛHĕ 'three' : WC *ʎ:V), possibly because of original Ablaut. See Trubetzkoy 1922, 239, 243; 1930, 274-275; Абдоков 1983, 155.

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʎ:ʷe-
Meaning: five
Lezghian: wa-d
Tabasaran: xu-b
Agul: ʕafu-d
Rutul: xu-d
Tsakhur: xo-llä
Kryz: fɨ-d
Budukh: fɨ-d
Archi: ʎ:o, ʎ:ʷe-jṭu
Udi: qo
Comment: Initial ʕa- in Ag. is unclear (cf. in other dialects: Bursh. jiš̌u-r, Fit. jüfü-d, Burk. ifa-d; here the PL numeral obtained the initial ji- (je-) on analogy with *jewq̇ɨ- 'four' q.v.). Rather interesting is the Archi word for 'fifty': buχ:í (not buʎ:í). Since Archi names for tens are usually formed from simple numerals, this form presupposes *χ:ʷe 'five' - which can reflect PL *χ:ʷä (from a lax PEC variant *fɦä̆).
