North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ_urVḳV
Meaning: a k. of fruit (apricot, damson)
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Despite some expressive transformations, correspondences are basically regular and the root seems reliable. The root was borrowed into Kumyk from some Caucasian language: Kum. kurägä 'apricot', whence it was loaned back into some EC languages (Tsez., Gin., Bezht., Gunz. kurak, Darg. Chir. qurek:a 'apricot') and Russian (курага).

Meaning: 1 apricot 2 plum, damson
Chadakolob: kurúḳ 1

Chamalal: ḳ:uḳ:ul 1
Tindi: k:uk:ul 1
Comments: Av. paradigm C (kurḳí-l, kúrḳa-l/kurúḳa-l). The And. form (MSU) may be a misrecording instead of *ḳ:urḳ:ul. Cf. also Av. (Unt.) ḳalḳuli 'damson'. And. (Tind.-Cham.) > Khvarsh., Inkh. ḳurḳul 'apricot'; Av. > Akhv. kuraḳe id.

Proto-Tsezian: *ḳiḳVrV ( ~ -l-)
Meaning: damson
Tsezi: ḳiḳili
Ginukh: ḳiḳili
Khvarshi: ḳiḳaraḳu (Radzhibov)
Inkhokvari: ḳiḳaraḳu
Comments: The Tsez. and Gin. form may be borrowed from some Av. dialect (cf. Av. Unt. ḳalḳuli 'damson'), but this is less probable for the Khvarsh. and Inkh. form (which is probably genuine).

Proto-Lezghian: *ḳVrVḳV-
Meaning: 1 a sort of peach 2 damson
Archi: ḳurḳuni 2
Udi: k:aramk:al 1
Comment: An interesting Archi-Udi isogloss (not preserved in any other Lezg. language). Because of the root's peripheral distribution, it is hard to make a precise vocalic reconstruction.
