The element -ʡa is treated (by Lomtatidze 1972, 130-133 and Shagirov 2,152) as an affirmative affix. Whatever it was, it influenced the development of the initial affricate (all affricates in such clusters become palatal in PAK). The original c̣- (which is the normal PAK reflex of PWC *ć̣) is probably retained in Kab. c̣ǝ-xʷǝ-n 'be acquainted (with someone)'.

Borean (approx.) : HVCV
Meaning : to see, perceive
Amerind (misc.) : *isa 'ear, hear' ? (R 201) [+ A]; *asa ~ *aša 'eye' (R 233) [+ A]; *ʔica 'see' (R 611) African (misc.) : Cf. Macro-Khoisan *c̮kVŋ "to see". Notes : Many problems: phonology (*-m- / -w-?); attribution of IE 'ear'; variation *-ǯ- / -d- in SH; unclear relationship of Sem. *ħzy/w 'see' and NC (Nakh, HU) *χV̆c̣V 'hear'. This and the distinction of two roots in FU suggests that we are dealing with two original roots, hard to distinguish.
