Proto-North Caucasian: *mħēlƛ̣e
Meaning: cold
Proto-Nakh: *m(ɦ)il-(~*-ī-,-Ł-)
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *mVrƛ̣V
Proto-Dargwa: *buḳumV
Proto-Lezghian: *meƛ̣ä-
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Since PD *b- in this case can not correspond to m- in other languages, we have to assume a metathesis *buḳumV < *muḳu-bV (probably with a former plural suffix). For the meaning "wind" in Darg. cf. 'cold wind, wind' in some Lezg. languages.
