Lezghian etymology :

Proto-Lezghian: *jo(r)q:(a)
Meaning: marriage, wedding
Archi: oq
Comment: The word is attested only in Archi, but is no doubt archaic. Several PL reconstructions are possible (with *j- or with *ʔ-, with *-r- or without it); external data favour *j- in PL.

Proto-North Caucasian: *j[ō]rq̇_ĭ ( ~ -ĕ)
Meaning: time, age; maturity
Proto-West Caucasian: *ʁ́a Notes: The PA form must be a metathesis < *roq̇:u < (regularly) *jorq̇:V (a metathesis from *ʔorq̇:V would be impossible). This is the main reason for reconstructing *j- in PEC and PNC, and other languages do not contradict it (the final proof would of course be the Nakh and Lezghian data: in fact, it seems possible that in some Lezghian languages there occurred a confusion of PL roots *jo(r)q: 'time' and *jiq: 'day' < PEC *Hwiq̇_V q.v.; thus, Lezg. lit. juʁ 'day' has an unexplained -u- which would very well fit for a reflex of PL *jo(r)q:). Trubetzkoy (1930) compared the WC forms with Lak. ʁi 'summer' ( < *ʁwĭnʔV) q.v. and with some reflexes of PEC *G_HōlnV 'summer'. This etymology (confusing two different EC roots) did not take into account the existence of an opposition between *ʁ́a and *ʁ́Iʷa in PWC, and should be now abolished. See also a discussion of the two roots in Abdokov 1983, 94-95 (also with a great deal of confusion between several EC and WC roots, although the comparison of PA *q̇:oru and Ub. ʁ́a is correct). Absolutely improbable is the comparison of WC forms with Georg. dro 'time' and dʁe 'day' (Lomtatidze 1955) or with Av. riʔi 'summer' (Shagirov 1).

Proto-West-Caucasian: *ʁ́a
Meaning: time, season
Abkhaz: ā-n
Abaza: aʕa
Adyghe: ʁa
Kabardian: ʁa
Ubykh: ʁ́a
Comments: PAT *(a)ʕa (cf. also *ʕa- in *ʕa-mǝta 'time' > Abkh. ā́mta, Abaz. ʕamta); PAK *ʁa. The root should be distinguished from *ʁ́Iʷa 'season, summer/spring' (see under *ʁwĭnʔV), although the two roots could have influenced each other (in PAT, where *ʕa- in *ʕa-pǝ-nǝ 'spring' reflects rather PWC *ʁ́Iʷa, and in PAK, where the root *ʁa means 'summer' in some compounds and idioms - e.g., in PAK *ʁa-máxʷa 'summer' > Ad. ʁamāf, Kab. ʁamāxʷa).
