North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *ʁV
Meaning: a demonstrative pronoun
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ʁV-
Proto-Lezghian: *ʁu-
Proto-Khinalug: ʁi
Notes: The identity of the Av., PL and Khin. stems is obvious, although it is rather hard to reconstruct the precise function of this pronoun. In PL it is used to denote objects located higher than the speaker; in Avar - rather vice versa (it is either a neutral third person pronoun or denotes objects located lower than the speaker). Cf. also Khin. q:ʷa (with emphatic tenseness, the same as in t:ʷa < *dV) 'there (below the speaker)'.
