North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=irχ_wVn
Meaning: to knit, weave, spin
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Except for some resonant interaction (PD *=imχ:Vr < *=irχ:ʷVn, variation in PL) correspondences are regular, and the reconstruction seems reliable. Pharyngealization in Lak. may be secondary, but may also reflect some weak initial laryngeal (or laryngeal prefix) in PEC.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔirχ:ʷar / ʔirχ:ʷan
Meaning: 1 to knit 2 to spin 3 to sew
Tabasaran: u=ʁ- (Düb.) 1
Agul: ruχ- 1
Rutul: χɨ=rχʷa- 1
Tsakhur: hoʔo=χar- 1
Kryz: ruʁ- 3
Budukh: č-uχu-c̣u 2
Archi: χ:em- 1
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Tp. r-uʁa-s 'to knit' (both in Tpig and in Richa the verb also means 'to weave' - a result of merger with PL *ʔiχar 'to weave' q.v.). The Archi -n-conjugation points to a PL variant *ʔirχ:ʷan, which is the most archaic (other languages reflect an assimilated form *ʔirχ:ʷar). A common Lezghian derivate is PL *jaχ:ʷ(a) 'loom': Lezg. Khl. aχʷar-ar, Ag. aχʷ-ar (Bursh. aχ:ʷ-ar, Fit. aχʷ), Rut. jaχʷ. Cf. perhaps also Lezg. barʁ-ar (Migr. awaʁ-ar) 'shredded hemp fibres', which can be also derived from the same root.
