Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *χ:[a]rV
Meaning: elbow
Bezhta: χaro (Tlad.)
Comments: Although Bezht. Tlad. χaro 'elbow' is hard to separate from Khosh. haro, Gunz. hɔru etc. (PTs *hɔru q.v.), it has to be done - because the consonantal correspondence "Tlad. χ- : h- in other languages" is absolutely irregular.

Lak root: qa
Meaning: wing
Lak form: qa

Proto-Lezghian: *χ:ɨl
Meaning: hand
Lezghian: ʁil
Tabasaran: χil
Agul: ʁil
Rutul: χɨl
Tsakhur: χɨl
Archi: χol
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. χil, Tab. Ulz. χ:il, Ag. Bursh. χ:il, Tp. ʁil. Obl. base *χ:ɨle-, cf. Lezg. ʁili-, Tab. χili-, Ag. χili-, Rut. χɨli-, Tsakh. χɨle-. The weak reflex χ- in Archi (χ:- would be expected) may be probably explained by the contamination of PL *χ:ɨl 'hand' and *χäla 'sleeve' q.v. 4th class in Rut., Arch. and Tsakh.

Proto-Basque: *hegal
Meaning: 1 wing 2 loin, flank (of cow) 3 fin (of fish)
Bizkaian: egal 2
High Navarrese: egal 1, 3
Low Navarrese: hegal 1, 3
Salazarese: magal 1
Lapurdian: hegal 1, 3
Baztanese: egal 1
Zuberoan: hegal 1, 3
Roncalese: egal 1, magal 1
Comments: This word has other secondary meanings: 'eave (of roof)', edge (of table)', 'brim (of hat)', etc. Cf. *hega- 'to fly', which may have contaminated this word (i.e., original *e=gal, changed to *hegal). The magal forms are either blended with *maga-l 'lap, flank' (q.v.), or a prefixed formation with the fossilized prefix *ma=.
