Proto-North Caucasian: *hrĕg_wē
Meaning: comb
Proto-West Caucasian: *ɣ́V Notes: For PEC *hrĕŁ_wē must be reconstructed. This is one of the common NC roots demonstrating the correspondence EC *Ł (in tense words) : WC *ɣ. Correspondences are regular, except for the secondary loss of labialisation in PWC. See Abdokov 1983, 131.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *räƛ̣:(ʷa) (~-a-,-k-)
Meaning: rake
Kryz: rak-ar
Budukh: lak-art
Comment: 3d class in both languages. Since the root is preserved only in Shakh-Dagh, it is impossible to distinguish between *-ƛ̣:- and *-k- in PL (both yield -k- in Shakh-Dagh languages); indirect evidence in favour of *-ƛ̣:- is, however, Bud. l- (instead of regular r- through assimilation with the former lateral). The word, both in Kryz. and Bud., contains the former plural suffix *-Vr. [NB: the MSU recording for Bud. is lǝkǝrd.]

Abkhaz: a-ʁ́a-rá 2

Comments: In Abkh. there also exists a-ʁ́ʁ́a-rá with the same meaning and emphatic reduplication. PAK *ž́ǝ-; Ub. 1 p. a-z-źá-n. An alternative comparison (PAK, Ub. : Abkh. a-ž̌a-ra "to scutch (flax)" proposed by Shagirov (1977) is unacceptable for phonetic reasons. In PAK there also exists a derivate *má-ž́a 'comb' (Ad. māž́, Kab. māźa) - one of the few reliable cases of the instrumental prefix *ma-.
