Proto-Lezghian: *k(ʷ)Vχ(:)-
Meaning: scraper
Lezghian: kiχel
Comment: A suffixed form, attested only in Lezg. (-i- in the first weak syllable denotes actually a reduced vowel -ǝ-), thus the PL reconstruction is rather tentative.

Abkhaz-Adyghe etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-West-Caucasian: *k:ʷaχʷa (~ḱ:ʷ,χ́ʷ)
Meaning: fork
Adyghe: kʷāχʷa
Kabardian: gʷāχʷa
Comments: PAK *k:ʷaχʷá. See Shagirov 1, 109, Kuipers 58. The Shaps. dialect here has variants k:ʷāχʷa / gʷāχʷa (where the form with gʷ- is irregular), the Abadz. dialect - gʷāχʷa (instead of expected kʷāχʷa). Forms with secondary gʷ- can be easily explained as secondary loans from lit. Kabardian, thus Shagirov's (ibid.) hypothesis about the word being borrowed from Mong. goxo 'hook' seems to have little ground.
