Proto-Lezghian: *ḳaš
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: 1 hammer 2 sledge hammer 3 shepherd's staff
Lezghian: ḳaš 1
Agul: ḳaš 2
Rutul: ḳaš 3
Tsakhur: ḳaš 1
Kryz: ḳäš 3
Budukh: ḳǝš 3
Comment: Cf. also Lezg. Khl. ḳaš 'hammer', Ag. Burk. ḳaš 'stick'. Obl. stem *ḳašɨ- (cf. Tsakh. ḳašɨ-, Ag. Burk. ḳašu-). 4th class in Tsakh., 3d class in Shakh-Dagh. Perhaps we should also add Ud. k:oč:I 'handle' (possibly reflecting an early variant *ḳač̣ʷ, cf. the external evidence) - although Ag. ḳuč̣ 'handle' should be best considered as a loan from Dargwa.
