North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *H[o]kV
Meaning: to look, search
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Despite some influence of other verbal roots (see above), the root seems to be independent and the reconstruction looks rather probable. Note that the root has a laryngeal Anlaut and does not have prefixed class markers.

Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *ʔakV- / *ʔokV-
Meaning: 1 to look 2 to ask 3 to search 4 to find
Agul: ad-ark- 3
Rutul: u=kʷa- 2
Tsakhur: ā=ke- 4
Kryz: i=k- 4
Archi: sa=k:a- 1
Comment: Cf. also Arch. =irk:u- 'to search'. The PL reconstruction is somewhat difficult, because the root tends to contaminate with other verbal roots: in Archi it has been influenced by ak:u-s 'to see' (see PL *ʔak:ʷä-), in Agul - by -ark- (used with different preverbs) 'to fall upon, to hit' (see PL *ʔarkɨr-).

Basque etymology :

Proto-Basque: *beha
Meaning: 1 listening, looking 2 to listen, look at
High Navarrese: bea-tu 2
Low Navarrese: beha 1, beha-tu 2
Salazarese: bea-tu 2
Lapurdian: beha 1, beha-tu 2
Zuberoan: beha 1, beha-tü 2
Roncalese: bea 1, bea-tu 2
Comments: The Bsq word apparently contains a fossilized class prefix or preverb *b= : cf. PY *b[ǝ̄]k- 'to find'. This verb has influenced the form of the word for 'ear' in northeastern Bsq: *be=lar̄i (q.v.) > beharri, etc.
