North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=olχwV̆r
Meaning: to defecate
Notes: An Av.-And.-Lezg. isogloss. The comparison is rather probable, but needs several phonetic comments. *-l- in PL (unambiguously established on basis of Ag., Tsakh. -r-) corresponds directly to -n- in the PA derivate *ʔinχ:u, thus it must be reconstructed for PEC. However, in PA we should expect a weakened reflex *-χ-, not *-χ:- after a medial liquid. The reason of the irregularity is probably an early loss of *-l- in the verbal stem (where all Andian languages and Av. reflect a pure stem *=iχ:-) and the consequent strengthening -χ- > -χ:- in the intervocalic position. Strong *-χ:- in *ʔinχ:u is obviously a result of later analogy with *=iχ:-.

Protoform: *=iχ:-
Meaning: 1 to have diarrhea 2 diarrhea
Avar: =iχ:- 1
Andian language: riχ:ir 2
Akhvakh: raχ:e (Leksika)
Chamalal: jiχ:-de (Leksika)
Tindi: raχir (Leksika)
Karata: raχ:ir (Leksika)
Botlikh: b-iχ:a-tir (Leksika)
Comments: Most of the forms are quoted from Лексика 1971; they seem, however, well recorded (except Tind. raχir which is obviously a misspelling instead of *raχ:ir). The Av. parallel to PA *r-iχ:V-r 'diarrhea' is Av. ríχ:e-l id., which was borrowed in Tsezian languages (Tsez. reχel, Gin. reχel / riχel, Gunz. riχil). There exists also a PA form *ʔinχ:u (Tind. unχ:i 'faeces', Akhv. ĩχ:u 'diarrhea') which indicates that the root once had a medial resonant, that was lost in the verbal stem.

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *ʔalχʷVr- / *-χIʷ-
Meaning: 1 diarrhea 2 to defecate
Agul: arχʷ 1
Tsakhur: arχʷ 1 (Gelm.)
Kryz: ħür-hä- 2
Budukh: s-aħar- 2
Comment: The verbal stem is preserved only in Bud. As a nominal stem *ʔalχʷVr / *ʔilχIʷVr it is reflected in Ag., Tsakh. arχʷ (a back-formation from a form = Ag. plur. arχʷar with -r reinterpreted as a plural suffix), Kryz. ħür- (now only within a compound verb), Bud. ħure 'diarrhea'. Variation between *χʷ / *χIʷ is probably explained by the root's expressive character.
