North Caucasian etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *GɦV̆nVc̣_ā (~-ǝ̄)
Meaning: hook
Notes: The root is expressive (KV(R)CV structure) and contains two stops, thus there are some irregularities in reflexation. However, it is not borrowed and must be reconstructed for PNC. Note that it has penetrated some geographically close languages: cf. Turk. kanǯa, Osset. xäʒ 'hook'. One could also compare Ing. ʁoz 'ring' - which should be kept apart from Chech. hoz id. (phonetically absolutely incompatible).

Proto-Lezghian: *q:Ia[n]c̣(a)
Meaning: 1 hook 2 horn
Tabasaran: ʁIaʁIac 1
Udi: q:Ianc: 2
Comment: There are some irregularities due to the root's expressive nature. Arch. qanc̣a 'hook put on shoes in slippery weather' is probably not genuinely cognate, but rather borrowed from Old Avar.
