Proto-Tsezian: *=uḳ- (~-o-)

Proto-Dargwa: *=ulḳ-

Proto-Khinalug: ḳili

Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Because of Ablaut it is hard to reconstruct the root vocalism. One ca also reconstruct the derivate *w-V̆lḳVnV 'corner, angle'(PN *noḳ, PA *bi(r)ḳʷin). A trace of this root in Lezghian may be Rut. q̇Iu=ḳa- 'to bend' (with an expressive prefix?).

Nakh etymology :

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology

Meaning: to fold, make pleats

    Cf. also Cham. Gig. =ač̣n- 'to bend' and derivates: PA *=iḳVn- 'curved, bent' (Akhv. =ĩḳa-da, Cham. =ič̣anna, Gig. =ač̣a-m, Tind. =iḳ́ã-b, Kar. Tok. meḳ́a-b); Av. boḳón, Chad. buḳún, PA *bi(r)ḳun 'corner' (And. biḳun, Akhv. meḳu, Tlan. berḳen, Ratl. berḳʷen, Cham. beḳũ, Kar. buḳun, Tok. boḳun, God. biḳun). Av. boḳon > Cham. Gig. boḳon, Gunz. boḳon 'corner'; Av. suḳ- 'to bend' > Tind. suḳ-ij-, Kar. suḳ- id.

Yenisseian etymology :

Proto-Yenisseian: *ʔVKV

Meaning: to bend

Kottish: d́-aki (inf.); d́-ōkiaŋ, praet. d́-ōnakiaŋ, imp. d́-anki, pass. d́-ōnaki

Comments: ССЕ 203. Werner 1, 220 compares the Kott. form with Ket. ĺɔj 'to lean on' and reconstructs <*ʎok->. This is dubious because d́- in Kottish is definitely a prefix (see the paradigm above), while in the Ket form it is a part of the root, for which Werner himself (2, 11) reconstructs a protoform <*loʔǝjǝ / *loʔǝj> (see *ŕōj), thus contradicting himself. Besides, tone 4 (original length) in *ŕōj does not favour reconstruction of any intervocalic velar in the latter root. All these consideration do not allow us so far to make the reconstruction for Kott. d́-aki any more precise than *ʔVKV.

Korean: *kùbɨ̀r-

Japanese: *kǝ́rǝ́-mp-

Comments: АПиПЯЯ 288, ОСНЯ 1, 327 (with literature; Illich-Svitych also compares Mong. qoli- 'to mix', but does not list the Turkic and Japanese forms). Cf. also Mong. kölbe- 'to lie on one side' (KW 238), qolbir- `to slip sidewards'. The attribution of some forms is problematic: Turk. *Kul- may reflect a partial contamination with PA *gi̯ŭldo 'to stretch' (q. v.).; the Jpn. and Kor. forms, due to the merger of *r and *l, can actually also reflect PA *ki̯ṓr[i] q. v.; in Jpn. cf. also koro 'round log', korog- 'to roll, rotate'. Note that the MKor. form with -w-, -'- makes the affiliation of the Korean root questionable - unless it is a dissimilative development < *kurb-ɨr-, in which case it would be a morphological structure *k`úlo-bV- = PJ *kǝ́rǝ́mp-, Mong. kölbe-, qolbir-.
