Proto-North Caucasian: *hōwɫ[ā]
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: bean(s), lentil
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ħoli
Proto-Tsezian: *hel(u) A
Proto-Lak: hulū
Proto-Lezghian: *hola
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Some interlingual loans: Bezht. holo < Avar.; Darg. Ak. hulu-qara 'lentil' (qara 'pea') < Lak.; other adduced forms are genetically related.

    The final vowel is not quite clear; PL points to *-ā, Av. - to *-ū. Since we have to reconstruct -w- (to account for the reflex *-o- in PA, and possibly for *-e- in PC), we may conjecture that final *-ā passed to *-ū in Av. under influence of the medial -w-.

Proto-Basque: *iɫha-r̄

Bizkaian: idar 3, (Mundaka, Txorierri) irar 2

Zuberoan: ílhar 1, ilhar-biríbil 2, ilhar-xúri 2, ilhárre 4
Comments: Cf. PNC *hōwɫ[ā] 'bean(s), lentil'. The relevance of words for 'heather' is uncertain, since the heather plant (Erica) is so different from the pulses, and Bsq words for heather (ilharre, gillar, gindarra, iñarra, añara, etc.) are phonetically diverse and probably indicate blending of originally distinct roots.
