North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *nħĕƛ̣_V
Meaning: milk; milk product (butter, cheese)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The Khin. form obviously belongs here, although the metathesis eng (instead of *neg) is not quite clear; other languages do not allow to reconstruct any root structure except *RVCV. All other forms are completely regular. Abayev (1958, 544) suggests some Caucasian source (connected with Khin. eng) for Osset. inǵɨn 'curds'.
See Trubetzkoy 1922, 241.

Tabasaran: nik: 1
Agul: nek: 1
Rutul: näk 1
Tsakhur: ńak 1
Archi: naIƛ̣: 1
Udi: naq: 2
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. erg. neḳe-di, Rut. Ikhr. nek, obl. neg:i-di-. Most languages reflect only consonantal oblique stems (in *-t:V, *-rV or *-nV; Arch. neIƛ̣:i- is not informative for the PL reconstruction); however, we can reconstruct the PL Ablaut *ä/i, reflected in the Tsakh. paradigm ńak, nik-ne-. In Udi the pure root means 'buttermilk, whey'; the meaning 'milk' is rendered by a compound muč:Ia-naq: (lit. 'sweet whey'). See Бокаpев 1961, 59; Гигинейшвили 1977, 110.
