Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *k:ʷar(a)
Meaning: a big jar (for carrying water)
Lezghian: k:ʷar
Tabasaran: gʷar
Agul: gʷar
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. k:ʷar, Tab. Düb. gar id. Obl. base *k:ʷara- or *k:ʷarä-, cf. Tab. gʷara-, Ag. gʷara-. Since the external parallels of this word mean 'gutter', it would be tempting to relate here also Arch. gʷarč:i 'mill kennel, funnel'; there is, however, no *-č:-suffix in Lezghian, and this problem remains open.
