North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
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.

North Caucasian etymology :

Search within this database
Proto-North Caucasian: *ḳ_urVḳV
Meaning: a k. of fruit (apricot, damson)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *ḳ:ur(u)ḳ:-ul
Proto-Tsezian: *ḳiḳVrV ( ~ -l-)
Proto-Lak: k:urk:ul
Proto-Lezghian: *ḳVrVḳV-
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).
