Proto-Lezghian: *ʔiʔIʷɨ-
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: say
Lezghian: luhu-
Tabasaran: p-
Agul: p-
Tsakhur: ihe-
Kryz: lɨp-
Budukh: juʔ-
Archi: bo-
Udi: pe-sun
Comment: In Tab., Ag., Kryz., Arch. and Ud. we witness a case of interaction between the root laryngeal (normally reflected as -h-) and the class infix -b- (PL *p:). Cf. the paradigm in Kryz. (inf. lɨpɨ-ǯ < *l-i-b-ʔIʷɨ-, dur. lu-ri, prohib. m-uʔu), Bud. (juʔu, jɨpǝ-ǯi), Arch. (bo-s < *ʔi-p:-ʔIʷɨ-s, dur. wa-r < *ʔiʔIʷa-r without the class infix). In Lezg. and Kryz. there is a *l- preverb; other languages reflect a prefixless form.

Khinalug etymology :

Search within this database
Khinalug root: li
North Caucasian etymology: 85
Meaning: say
Khinalug form: li
Comments: Etymology unclear: it could be li < *l-(V)H-i with epenthesis of the laryngeals (with l- as preverb - like in some Lezg. languages). In this case the form could be traced back to PEC *=iʡwV.
