North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=ǝ̄rƛ_Ŭ
Meaning: to go, walk, enter
Proto-West Caucasian: *ŁʷV Notes: A widely spread common NC verb root. Cf. also HU: Urart. u/ol- 'to go, to start going' (caus. 'to carry off'), see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 50-51. Trubetzkoy (1930, 278) compares the WC form with PEC *=ĭχ_V 'to carry' - which is hardly justified (both for phonetic and semantic reasons).

Nakh etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Nakh: *-ēŁ-
Meaning: walk, roam; fly
Chechen: lēl-
Ingush: lel-
Batsbi: lel-
Comments: Initial *l- in most forms is either a prefix or the result of an old reduplication (without it cf. Bacb. imper. -ol "come (here)!"). Cf. also *-ē-b-Ł- in Chech. -īl- "to walk across, walk out". Since Chech. and Ing. have preserved only the durative stem, it is hard to establish vowel length in the PN terminative form *l-aŁ- ( > Bacb. lal-). The affricate *-Ł- is reconstructed on basis of Bacb. (Matsiyev) leʎ-, (Kadagidze) lel-.

Avar-Andian etymology :
Search within this database
Protoform: *=iƛ:u-
Meaning: 1 to walk 2 to go 3 to enter
Avar: =iƛ:-ín- 1
Chadakolob: =aƛ:Vn- 1,2
Andian language: =uƛ:- 3
Akhvakh: =oƛ:- 2
Chamalal: =eƛ:- 2
Tindi: =eƛ:- 2
Karata: =oƛ:- 2
Comments: In Av. the verb belongs to the -n-conjugation, reasons for which are not clear. The root must be reconstructed with a labialised second vowel: this is supported by the Ablaut stem *ƛ:uH- reflected in Av. ƛ:úh-ine 'enter' (Chad. ƛuhn- id.), Tind. ƛ:ʷē-ʎa 'go, walk', and would account for the labialised first vowel in Akhv., Cham. and Kar. Cf. also Akhv. Tseg. -uƛ:-, Tl. -aƛ:-, Ratl. -oƛ:- 'go, walk' and the Ablaut variant *ƛ:(ʷ)e reflected in Tind., Cham. ƛ:e 'come, come on!'. Beside the main meaning 'to go, walk' this root has (in all languages) the meaning 'to happen, to become' (Tind. and Cham. use in this meaning a stem with Ablaut: =uƛ:-). The same verbal stem also denotes 'to finish' (Av. ƛ:úʕ-, Chad. ƛúʕ-n-, And. -uƛ:-, Kar. -oƛ:-, Tok. -eƛ:-) or 'to begin' (Tind., Cham. -uƛ:-).

Lak etymology :

Lak root: =u=k:a-
Meaning: to go out, exit; walk around
Lak form: =u=k:a-
Comments: G. pr. =u=k:u-n. Lak. also has an imperative ulu "let's go!", which is a variant of the same root with a reflex -l- (a typical variation for PEC *Ł); Lak. ulu = Tind., Cham. ƛ:e.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔarƛ:e-
Meaning: 1 to come 2 returning
Agul: adi- 1
Tsakhur: q-ale- 1
Archi: a=ƛi- 1
Udi: (?) qaj 2
Comment: In Agul dialects there is a peculiar reflex of PL *-rƛ:-, cf. Rich. adi-s, (but after the preverb q-: q-aji-s 'to return'), Bursh. argi-s, Burk. are-s, Tp. ade-s. The Ud. form can be compared if we assume a reduction of the initial vowel. In Tsakh. cf. also s-ale= 'to gather'.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ŁʷV
Meaning: to enter
Abkhaz: a-tá-la-
Abaza: našǝ-l-
Adyghe: jǝ-ħā-
Kabardian: jǝ-ħa-
Ubykh: -wǝ-
Comments: PAT *-la-/-lǝ- 'to go, move, enter' (used only with preverbs); PAK *-ħa- (also with preverbs). Ub. is the only language having a preverbless paradigm (sǝ-wǝ́-n "I enter"). The correspondence PAT *l : PAK *ħ : Ub. w reflects a labialised lateral *Łʷ. See Trubetzkoy 1930, 278; Shagirov 1, 188.
