North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *=V̄rŁV
Meaning: to thresh
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *=il- Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The verbal stem itself is preserved only in a few languages (Nakh, Tind., Bezht., Darg.). Very well represented, however, are two common EC derivates: *r-ĕŁō 'threshing, grain ready for threshing' and *m-ɨ̄(r)ŁV 'threshing board'. PA *bilimV (corresponding to the latter form) is probably a metathesis < *mili-bV (with *-bV as a former plural affix). If our analysis is right, we have here another case of the PEC instrumental prefix *m-. See Trubetzkoy 1922, 242.

Proto-Nakh: *ʔārŁ-
Meaning: to thresh
Chechen: ār-

Protoform: *=il-
Meaning: to thresh
Tindi: =elĩ-
Comments: The verb itself is attested only in Tindi. Much more widespread are derivates: 1) *roli. Cf. Av. lol (pl. lul-bí) 'threshing board', Chad. lal in lal =oq̇- 'to thresh'; And. loli 'threshing; threshing-floor', loli ṭam- 'to thresh'; Cham. jal 'threshing'; Tind. rali 'grain ready for threshing'; Kar. lale 'threshing'; God. lali-buχi id. In Av., And., Kar. and God. l- < *r- through assimilation.
2) *bilV-, *bilV-mV. Cf. Av. bála-hin 'shaft fastened to the threshing boards and yoke while threshing', Chad. boló-hin 'threshing board' (with an unclear component -hin); And. belim, Akhv. meli (Tseg., Tlan. belan), Cham. belũ (Gig. belma), Tind. belima, Kar. belun 'threshing board'.

Tsezian etymology :

Proto-Tsezian: *=oL:-
Meaning: to thresh
Bezhta: =ol-
Comments: The verb is attested only in Bezht. Much wider spread are the nominal derivates: 1. PTs *rɔLV A: Tsez. reʎa-j, Gin. reʎa, Khvarsh. loʎe, Inkh. lolo (PTsKh *RoLV), Bezht. Tlad. ral, Gunz. rɔl 'threshing' (PGB *rɔl).
2. PTs *mɨLǝ A: Tsez. meʎi, Gin. meʎe, Khvarsh. meʎa, Inkh. mulo-lo (PTsKh *mɨLǝ), Bezht. Tlad., Khosh. mur, Gunz. mɨlu (PGB *mɨl(u)) 'threshing board'. Bezht. has here -r- instead of -l- probably because of dissimilation which occurred in the oblique base (cf. Tlad. mur-li-, Khosh. mur-li-) and later was extended to the direct base.

Lak etymology :

Lak root: č:in
Meaning: threshing board
Lak form: č:in
Comments: Khosr. č:in id. Lak. č:in goes back to *muk:i-n (with a regular loss of the initial syllable containing a labial resonant + a narrow vowel), which is an exact match for forms like PA *bili-mV, PTs *mɨLǝ etc. Another derivate from the same archaic verbal root is Lak. č:ar ( < *k:ar, with metathesis < *rak:) 'threshing', used also in the compound verb č:ar d-a-n 'to thresh'.

Dargwa etymology :

Proto-Dargwa: *=uk:- (/=Vlk:-)
Meaning: to thresh
Akusha: (deg) d-ug-es
Comments: The verbal stem is attested only in Ak., in a compound with deg 'threshing, threshing board', which itself is derived from the same root (see below). There are two nominal derivates: 1. Chir. alč:e (plur. alk:-me) 'threshing board', reflecting PD *ʔalk:i. This noun is immediately derived from the verbal stem *-Vlk:- (which is itself unattested).
2. PD *dek: > Ak. deg, Chir. dek: (cf. dek: b-arq̇i 'to thresh'), Ur. dig etc. 'threshing, threshing board'. The same stem is reflected in Ur. dugini 'threshed corn, fodder'.

Lezghian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Lezghian: *jiƛ:
Meaning: grain prepared for threshing; threshing
Lezghian: jug
Agul: ji
Rutul: jiɣ
Archi: iƛ
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. obl. juga- (pointing to PL *jiƛ:a-), Nüt. jiɣ-arar. This noun (originally deverbal, see below) is for the most part used in compound verbs meaning 'to thresh': Ag. ji aq̇as, Rut. jiɣ haʔas, Arch. iƛ ač:as. Agul forms meaning 'threshing board' also belong here. They contain a former plural affix *-Vr: jiri, Bursh. jar, Fit. jarjar, Burk. jarjar-ar ( < *jiƛ:-Vr, *jiƛ:Vr-Vj; in Fit. and Burk. new plural affixes were added). Another old derivate from the same verbal root is PL *mɨƛ:o-ra (with metatheses: *ƛ:ɨroma, *rɨƛ:oma) 'threshing board' > Lezg. rugun (Khl. rɨgɨn), Rut. niɣrä (Ikhr. rɨɣnä), Tsakh. Tsakh. mɨgra, Mik. niɣra / nigra, Arch. ƛorom, Ud. muq:Ial.
