Proto-Lezghian: *ʔek:V-
Meaning: 1 to grow, put on weight 2 many, much
Rutul: l-e=g- 1
Tsakhur: ge-d 2
Udi: ge-le 2
Comment: The word for 'much, many' in Tsakh. and Ud. is probably derived (with vowel reduction) from a verb stem 'to grow', preserved only in Rut.

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=eg(w)V
Meaning: to grow
Notes: A Lak-Lezg. isogloss. Not very reliable, because the Lak. word may be analysed as a compound "(from the) middle (laI)"+"go out"(=uk:a-). However, a good morphemic parallelism between the Lak. (laI=uk:a-) and the Rut. (l-e=g-) forms (both with prefixed l-) allow us to suppose that the archaic form in Lak. was recently reinterpreted under the influence of an etymologically different root =uk:a-.
