North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *gurcɨ̆ ( / *kurʒɨ̆; ~ -ŭ)
Meaning: a k. of dumplings
Proto-Nakh: *kurʒi (~-ō-,-e)
Proto-Dargwa: *k:urc:
Proto-Lezghian: *k:orc ( ~ -ɨ-)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The PN form goes back to *kurʒɨ̆, the PL - to *gurcɨ̆; Darg. reflects an assimilated form *gurʒɨ̆. Phenomena like this are typical for roots containing two stops, so they do not throw doubt on the etymology.
